It is important to educate people about tyranny and racism. It's not something that should be 'forgotten from history'. People need to know that things like the Holocaust, American slavery, and the Crusades happened. Moreso, they need to know why they happened, and what lead to them. Educating people is the best thing we can do, definitely not sweeping it under the carpet.
I sincerely hope I just misunderstood your post, because what you just suggested is small-minded and irresponsible.
I VERY STRONGY AGREE! This is a VERRRY important point and a good lesson.
You shouldn't keep yourself and others ignorant from bad things that have happened in the world....that's absurd! That's grotesque.
After all it is often said you often learn more from bad things and mistakes than from good things and successes!
World-class expert sportsmen chessmasters and professional internet gamers and poker players for example all know the same thing....that you learn more from mistakes than successes. Mistakes are often how you get to success. And success taken for granted and not deliberately improved on often leads to mistakes.
And learning is a gargantuantly important thing.
The learning of one person is important...mainly because it can on rare occasions effect the whole world in a BIG way...but the learning of a nation - or the world....is even more important...that's why historic lessons are so enormously giganticly gargantuantly important.
