She said “ but Grahamy, we bombed them first, it was our fault”
...upon hearing such a remark, I would have taken the youngster’s hand, firmly, but not without gentleness, and pointedly asked her where she had heard that...if she answered school, then a trip to that school would be next...and a rather taut conversation with whomever ran the place would ensue...
...perhaps that individual was not there at the time this was taught, but that wouldn’t matter...the institution taught it, and this person now ran that institution...if I received anything less than the response ‘this will be seriously looked into’, with the assurance that I would be able to check in on the progress, I would state my intention to go to the next school board hearing and publicly announce what the school in question had taught...
...assuredly, enough townspeople would be sufficiently outraged to take some action...
If I were her Mom I would. My impression was that she had been taught to reflexivly blame US for everything from killing Indians to oppressing people and causing wars.
