My daughter’s classmates were trying to puzzle out a compare and contrast of Berlin Wall versus proposed wall on Mexican border. All they could see was “wall is bad” and “locations are different”.
I nearly yelled at them, “Berlin wall was built to keep people in who wanted out, while a wall on the US border is to keep people out that wanted in.” They didn’t understand the history enough to make that connection.
I also had a long discussion on how we can’t be as bad as teachers have said when we’re having to keep people out who risk lives to come in. Don’t know if any of it stuck.
