Last year, a group called More in Common conducted a survey analyzing attitudes toward the teaching of history among Republicans and Democrats. The report is quite illuminating. … Democrats have large perception gaps when it comes to understanding how Republicans feel about teaching about failures in American history or about Civil Rights movements. … Americans have more in common on the issue of history – and likely on a myriad of other topics. However, the division perpetuated by many in the media have made it harder for us to realize that. This is why so many of us have inaccurate perceptions of what folks on the other side believe.
