South Carolina will close state and some local government offices to mark Confederate Memorial Day

5. The "Lost Cause" narrative, which was and still is, being taught as history is a bullshit lie

that people like Mitch McConnell prefer over factual history.

The "Lost Cause" lie is actually divisive and politically motivated indoctrination - everything McConnell and his ilk (all those recent state laws) claim teaching factual history is now.

To mark, celebrate or commemorate, "Confederate Day" is a continuation of the "Lost Cause" lie taught in schools throughout the South.

To reinforce the thinking introduced through those lies that claims the Confederacy was not a collection of traitors but was, instead, a collection of unfairly treated people who were only standing up for their rights. That there was "good in slavery" and "slaves loved their masters", and once slavery ended all the systemic racism went away in America.

It's not heritage - it's clinging to hate. It's clinging to ignorance. It's being proud of your ignorance and hate.
