At the San Francisco Chronicle, Andrew Straus suggests that the United States could learn from how Germany deals with the legacy of Nazism and the Holocaust.

In the course of the discussion, he gets to the nub of the current fuss in the United States over critical race theory and “divisive concepts” (emphasis added):

The recent furor over teaching “critical race theory” in schools doesn’t stem from disagreements over how best to guide students through this history and its continued impact on contemporary American life. Rather, at the heart of the matter is a refusal to face the wrongs of the past and a desire to suppress discussion of whether Americans today have any obligation to rectify those wrongs.

I commend the entire piece to your attention.
