Looking back at history class and how we just glossed over the Salem Witch trials. Women tortured and murdered for existing. We barely gave it a second thought. How were we as young people, already so desensitized? Any teachers of history out there? Is it the same with today’s students? Is there at least a semblance of outrage or dismay? #america #history #herstory #womensrights Can’t help but think the indifference permeated us.

@Stoneycase@heads.social I remember having to read Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" in high school English, and remember being astonished by the absurdity of the Witch Trials. But that said, I was always a student of history. I don't think a lot of folks paid attention.
