@mekkaokereke just as a data point i grew up in south mississippi in the 80s and 90s. for most of elementary school i was in catholic school and we learned about them there, though i can clearly remember one teacher in the fifth grade who insisted the civil war wasn’t about slavery (why it was important to make this point so forcefully to a fifth grader is another matter). they were taught in my public high school, but glossed over.

certainly the states’ rights myth was taught more vocally.

@erictopol is there any solid data on vaccine escape rates with this variant yet?

@thomasfuchs you can add "generating bedtime stories for me to read to my daughter" too the list of positives... Definitely better than what I was coming up with on my own.
