    This is the exact occurrence of the events.

    I think you're grossly overestimating what most "kids know". The vast majority of them are unaware of pretty much everything outside of TikTok. After two years of the half-assed efforts the teachers' unions have been making to brain-wash kids into politicized zombies in between their regularly-scheduled COVID "work-from-home" breaks, I'd be shocked (and delighted) if any significant percentage of them could regurgitate even a few basic civics lessons, let alone accurately define "insurrection" or know what Congress' functions are or the details of how our elections are handled. No, for ~99% of kids, January 6th has no special significance, and it wouldn't even merit a fleeting thought for most of them if leftist media outlets and SJW activists pretending to be teachers didn't insist on howling about it for days on end in a pathetic attempt to make it seem relevant or significant.

    Were the rioters of the "summer of love" holding Biden placards? Were they attempting to over throw a democratically elected government and install a dictator?

    Anyone who can't see the difference has something seriously wrong with them.

    Frankly at this point in time I wouldn't even allow them to bring it up. The investigation is not even done yet. Nothing is settled on it yet.

    If they did, they would be teaching propaganda. I'm guessing that is what you want. If they taught the propaganda you didn't like, would you be the one hurling death threats?

    Only teachers who really don't give a damn about the welfare of their students worry about this. Real teachers are more concerned with making sure they can read, write, and do math.

    We should teach: take everything you hear about it with a grain of salt because literally everyone is spinning it for their own political agenda.

    No one was trying to overthrow a democratically elected government(Biden was the President-Elect at the time, essentially a special citizen but a citizen nevertheless.). Indeed, that's why there wasn't, isn't and never will be an insurrection charge. The elements don't match in real life. Believing in an insurrection or any belief therein is as bad as The Big Lie. You believe in something that frankly, will never happen.

    You got it.

    The mob believed that's what they were doing, infantile though their hope was.

    Are you suggesting that if the police backed off and the senators and congress people were cornered by this violent mob that a respectful discussion with a cup of tea would have ensued?

    Well considering that the mob did in fact breach Congress and then left uneventfully(for the most part). I'd say so. Again, all of the evidence bears itself out even in front of that disgraceful Kangaroo court. They're just trying to find a way to spin anything into what they believe, which is what kangaroo courts do.
    But no one cares about the kangaroo court's statements, especially in lieu of political and health crises.

    You made the claim that something was going to happen in the future, and continue to present it as fact.

    LOL.

    Dude. Really?

    What? A mob that just broke down doors, violently assaulted and injured police, threatened not only Congress members but the VP of the United States, if not confronted was just going to quietly sit down and exchange views with others?

    But America watched the events live, they saw what happened first person, no one has to spin the facts

    I just offered the question, didn’t take any position, you are the one interjecting “propaganda”

    And you can not teach anyone to read and write in a vacuum, content is required

    Sure, but the "content" isn't required to be highly politicized entertainment-posing-as-news opinion garbage "journalism". You could teach them to read and write using non-political "content", you know, if you cared about teaching them to read and write rather than politicizing everything and everyone.

    You're wrong. Nobody "broke down doors" at the Capitol on January 6th. They smashed a few windows and opened some doors and walked through, but the doors were not "broke down". They were just opened.

    The whole concept of January 6th being an “insurrection” is stupid.
    There was a riot and illegal entry.
    But, being inside the Congress building does not automatically give you any authority. If there is something with the building the house Reps and senators can meet and vote elsewhere.
    The Dems who claim it was insurrection can’t think straight. I mean - do they think those rioters could start passing laws with entire government complying and executing these laws? Of course not! So, it was not an insurrection and it was not a coup attempt.

    Hopefully in a couple of months they can talk about the imprisonment of the insurrectionists as well as Trump.

    EXCEPT, The GOP has already beaten them to the punch to "rig" the mid-terms (with Voter Suppression Laws, and Gerrymandering during reapportionment).

    No worries, there.
    Because, not only is Pollak's Comedic Rant Complete and Utter BS...
    BUT, even IF that Fantastical (Unrealistic) Plan Happened:

    One GOP Extremist would just be swapped out for another (in a Deep Red District).

    Putting your feet on Pelosi's desk is evidently an offense worth 108 days in prison (including solitary confinement). This is more than many murders get (refer to the murder of Ashley Babott)

    This is simply not true. There were between 10,000 and 15,000 protesters there that day, and the vast, vast majority of them held no such belief. Even for the tiny fraction that entered the Capitol building, there was no such plan:

    (you should really read the whole article, it might correct some of the misinformation you've absorbed)

    It's actually really hard to teach this as a concept. I mean the closest I've been able to get is to talk about the fact that the US lacks many democratic standards now. And this is a serious problem for the idea that the US is a democracy. (and yes I know republic isn't the same as a democracy. All republics are democracies but not all democracies are republics).

    Breaking into the us capital to stop the electoral process is an insurrection which happens to be illegal.

    Btw, those getting their sentences are crying in court. Heres more, at least blm protested and some rioted for something that is tabgible.

    Go back and read my posts from last year. :)
