Thank you!!

When I get to teaching this part of American History at our homeschool co-op (Jr and Sr high) I am always looking for additional sources. The textbooks put out just state a single shooter and maybe a token statement about some people don't believe this.

At this point, to educate this way is akin to academic murder. I tell my students this and that I will not teach them what I reasonably know to be a lie.

So, I have gotten to the point where I state that all I can truthfully teach them is that the only thing we can factually state about this event is that JFK went to Dallas, was shot, and died. I will only test them on knowing the date.

Then, I share factual info (not in the book) about Allen Dulles (Versailles treaty for WWI reparations clause, CIA director, fired by JFK, Warren Commission), magic bullet theory (Oliver Stones JFK movie clip - still the best explanation of the theory I've found), Tucker Carlson Fox News 12/22 story clip finding out CIA was involved, etc. I ask them that given all this, do they think the single shooter is still plausible? Beyond this, what do we know for certain? Our president was assassinated and the files pertaining to this still have not been released because of NATIONAL SECURITY?!?! Our president was assassinated! It doesn't seem like the nation is very secure. Does this make ANY sense?

I teach them that it is very likely that in their lifetime they will learn the truth.

I teach my students that I have heard that in the 80s, in France, the students there were taught that a coup took place in the US as JFK was killed. But I have not been able to source this (looking for a textbook), yet, so keep it in the back pocket because it might be made up. I do show the photo of LBJ being sworn in and the senator winking.

Bottomline - I state that America is still worth it, nefarious events took place on 11/22/63, and we have rouge elements running around. Our government is of the people, by the people, for the people. God teaches us in His word that if we say we are without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. This event should neither be surprising nor tolerated.

The students walk away curious with questions, gently red pilled, and still patriotic. As far as I am concerned, I could hope for nothing less. Sometimes just knowing that your government lies to you will inoculate you to the government propaganda. Worked for me - 7 y.o., dad, Gulf of Tonkin.
