“[We should] give children a window into the real past, as
the people living there saw it, rather than compress their reading material
into an eternal now. If our moral ideas are so self-evidently correct (and to
be clear, I think that in many cases they are), then it should be easy to train
children to recognize the past’s mistakes. In the process, we can teach them
that even people they love and admire are capable of grave errors.”
