Everything is Bigger in Texas...and Yet Teaching Slavery is Not

My grandmother is from Texas, I am sure this would piss her off as much as it does to me now.

I want to be a teacher myself, and no matter how much I dislike American history, I do own it...both the good and the bad. We must teach both sides, so as to learn from our mistakes, to realize the grace and mercies that have spared us and allowed us to overcome, so we could promise the next generations better futures.

I am ashamed.
