When my daughter was in 8th grade (in Hawaii) her history teacher went on and on about the horrors of the atomic bombings.

I finally convinced her to ask about these specific Japansese atrocities. He just asked her where she heard about them. When she told him that her dad told her he said, “How does he know?”
She told him I wanted to be a history teacher (I no longer do). At that point he said the school didn’t think they (the students) were mature enough to hear/see/read about these things and that they would learn them in high school. But at the same time they were watching films about the Holocaust. When she got to HS they never heard of it there either.

Her teacher was of Japanese descent.

Whatta POS. he should go live in Japan or NK if he spews that crap.

Lucky for the Japs the Occupation Forces had the will and character not to just go crazy and kill a bunch of them out of pure spite. The anger the GIs must have had after witnessing war at its worst had to be incredible

No one else would have tolerated the Japs like the USA did, post war and thereafter.

So everyone else, just STHU
