What does it mean to teach history truthfully? In this episode of _Classical Et Cetera_ , we tackle how to teach Christopher Columbus facts with honesty, from elementary school to teaching history in middle school and high school. We discuss the hard truths of American slavery, the Holocaust, and more, while still cultivating gratitude for the US. Drawing on models like the Frederick Douglass 4th of July speech, we share practical ways to guide students through the dark parts of history so they see both the good and the bad—growing in wisdom, empathy, and conviction.

_Education of a Wandering Man_—Louis L'Amour (Paul)

_The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion_—Beth Brower (Tanya)

_On the Consolation of Philosophy_—Boethius (Dustin)
