Americaβs current wave of political violence reveals deeper issues, with K-12 education playing a pivotal role in shaping the attitudes that fuel such turmoil. When lessons and classroom activities emphasize confrontation and glorify violent resistance, especially through historical reinterpretation or selective hero-worship, they contribute directly to the erosion of nonviolent ideals and the weakening of national unity. The increasing tendency among educators and curriculum writers to favor figures and philosophies that legitimize violence as βself-defenseβ or celebrate outrage over reason undermines both civic education and respect for republican traditions. https://lockesociety.org/lessons-of-rage-the-hidden-curriculum-priming-americas-youth-for-political-violence/
