Does History Reflect Reality?

Description:
In this short verbal essay, Nakota argues that high school history teachers and high school history textbooks should shift their attention from training students to memorize historical content, and instead teach students to think of history presented in academic literature as narratives with flaws and deficiencies. He argues that this practice will challenge students to become better critical thinkers, especially once they are adults whose actions may affect the course of their society's politics.
