Why should we be forced to deny to our children that history is full of ugliness and death. It is also filled with splendid tales of heroic deeds, and other moments that defined human beings. Perhaps historical fiction graphic novels would be better than our traditional history books when it comes to conveying this to young people.
These are basically comic books that utilize all the details historians and researchers know about certain events in history. Some details must be improvised, which is why they are regarded as fictional recollections. However, considering how our text books are written now, no amount of artists license could possible bend the truth any further than we already have.
Young people who grow up reading comic books are often inspired to become physicists, scientists, and astronauts through their reading. Science, mathematics, and quantum theory all comprise the backdrop of many of these stories. When the readers realize that these technologies are being developed, it ignites their souls.
Why should be lessons teaching our past be any less colorful and engaging than the stories predicting our future. In fact, if we want our future to be anything close to the technological dawn that comic books portray, then we better start really teaching history. Those who have been counted on for this duty have been letting mankind down for centuries.
You cannot excite a young person in any subject by forcing them to memorize names, dates, and events. These random bits of information might be retained long enough to pass an examination, but it is no real test of what they truly learned. The blood and gore gets taken out right along with the passion and bravery that is part of the story of mankind.
No one would suggest that our history be taught in such a manner that one would give it an NC-17 rating. However, the watered-down, hoarse-dry version being taught in schools today teaches them very little about how mankind has arrived to this point. It fails them by failing to give them the information they need to connect history with current events.
Modern historians and researchers are seeking to reveal truths and allow radical new theories of our origins that rock the establishment to its core. This information can no longer be hidden from the world, but our educational system still fails to keep up with these changes out of dogmatic fear. Their disgrace should be engraved on their gravestones.
It is not simply not knowing the past which condemns mankind to repeated patterns of behavior. You can memorize all the dates, names, battles, and events you want. If we cannot teach in a way that connects this random stream of data to where humans are now, explaining why the world is in the state that exists, then go ahead and get ready for the next Dark Age.
