"Should kids learn about Pearl harbor?" "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"
George Santayana*
My son was born 17 years ago on Pearl Harbor day. Needless to say, he is one of very few kids his age who know anything about WW2 history. Very patriotic young man compared to his peers.
Yes and they should be taught how great this country really is and that our short comings are far outweighed by the good America has done and stands for. Cleveland, Ohio.
@PoliticallyIncorrectMechanic They should learn the real truth that the Flying Tigers at Pearl Harbor were going to bomb 4 Japanese cities in December 1941.
That is why Pearl Harbor was bombed as a preemptive strike in self-defense. The Americans were the aggressors and the ones who started the war, not the Japanese.
Of course.
Given the country children should be taught their own history and on their age and grade level. Kids can handle a lot more than people think they can.
If you want to read about WW2 in Asia, the author to read is Theodore H White. .. He became fluent in the Chinese languages before he went to China in ~1933. He lived with Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek during the 1930s. His books are AWESOME.
Didn't he also write "The Once and Future King"?
Getting ready for Thursday. I live one mile away from Pearl Harbor overlooking the entire base including Joint Base Hickam. My mother was 14 years old on the day of the attack living about a half mile away. She was out in their yard when the Zeros began flying over shooting and bombing. She told of the explosions and smoke rising. They initially thought that it was a military exercise until her brother stood on a table and heard a bullet whiz by his head. They could see the rising sun emblem on the planes, then the reality of the Japanese attack turned to panic as the neighborhood began their trek up into the sugarcane fields above the harbor area. She told of witnessing the explosions aboard the ships and seeing bodies flying off the decks. Then a Zero crashed into a field along the sugarcane haul road leading higher and away from the harbor. She saw the pilot slumped half way out of the cockpit. She said that could never forget the smell of a burning body.
My father’s dad was also interned in Utah, then transferred to Manzanar. He was released after the war and was planning on attending college at Davis hoping to become a doctor, but he died prematurely. My father and most of his friends enlisted in the Army hoping to prove their loyalty as citizens of the United States. Before leaving for basic training his uncle told him to serve honorably and never bring shame to the family, but don’t unnecessarily be a hero. He went on to serve in the Military Intelligence Service providing translation for the officers. The MIS, 100th Infantry Battalion, and the 442nd RCT all eventually received the Congressional Medal in 2010.
Both of my parents died in 2021. Their history has been passed down to my four children. I have one son who is a pastor, another serving in the Hawaii National Guard, and my youngest son who is a Cadet Commander in the Civil Air Patrol Hawaii Wing.
The theme of this year’s ceremony is inclusive of past, present, and future service members. Each of the service branches will place a commemorative wreath during the ceremony at the Memorial Center. My youngest son was chosen to participate in representing the Air Force’s “future.” He, along with a National Park Service retired Air Force veteran, and an active duty Air Force honor guardsman, will place the AF wreath on Thursday morning.
I am a proud American. Born in the Territory of Hawaii before it became a State in 1959. Our family has been blessed by and through Dennis Prager’s genuine commitment to use his gifts to benefit any fellow pilgrim in pursuit of the sublime truth. Thank you to all at PragerU and PragerU Kids!
Pray for the peace of Israel and Merry Christmas to all of you!
Your family is the essence of the non governmental American experience ♥️ but did you tell them our government knew it was coming and allowed it to happen?
I couldn’t see this live since I was sick when you were live. However, I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, I am a proud combat veteran who served in our Air Force in Afghanistan, and I am a devout Christian.
Yes, they should learn of and from the Bible as well, especially considering how our Declaration of Independence and Constitution are both scrap paper without the biblical principals they are founded on.
Copenhagen, Denmark. Originally from Massachusetts. Absolutely kids should learn about Pearl Harbor. The younger, the more they remember

🇺🇸 we homeschool & take December 7th as a special lesson day. Over the years we have studied the different accounts/aspects of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, from the military recollections to the civilian accounts. We discuss the politics of the day, the state of the war in Europe and around the world, the massive loss of life that we suffered as a nation on that day and throughout WW2. The heroism and sacrifices of our own family members & likewise the respect for their stories and experiences - become our lesson plan. We have learned military tactics, code breaking and radio communication. We have discussed the transition of Hawaii to a state -during and following the War. We learned about the changes that took place in America and within schools, jobs, and the military. My son knows why his great grandfathers served. US Marines & Airforce. ♥️🇺🇸
We do what we can to remember Pearl Harbor.
i am japanese and live in Hawaii with my beautiful daughter and wife. My grandparents were sent to concentration camps and lost their homes. My uncle signed up that week, served in the 100th battalion, my father joined as well. He dud not allow us to speak or learn japanese, it affects us to this day as i am learning the impacts of events decades ago.
lessons learned are valid today… be aware of global events, always be prepared,do not knee jerk when circumstances impact you negatively… think, plan, look ahead for the future of our children, teach them to survive in a hard world even through peacetime.
My Father and Uncle went to WW2 in Europe. My Uncle died. My Mother stayed in Vancouver raising her first child.
My Mom lived with my Dads parents until he came home from the War in 1946. . It was tragedy after tragedy in my Family. .. @stuartkimura4046 --> You didn't mention how many died in your Family.
In other words --> Stop whining about history.
Read "Theodore H White."
Without the Nilhau Incident it is debatable if the FBI could have gotten the internment of Japanese-Americans through the government.
I homeschool our kids and yes we learned about the different wars and Pearl Harbor.
Yes, but the WHOLE truth. Not some govt propaganda narrative. It's time students were offered narratives and theories and allowed to research so they can develop their own opinions.
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth & the Life. So teaching about the idolatry and violent culture of Japan as well as our own bad policy decisions will illustrate the difference between pure evil and a country that made unrighteous choices.
I think they should at least mention it, and definitely show some pictures.
About a year ago, I was talking to an eighteen year old kid who wasn't sure it even happened. He thought it might have been a government conspiracy, like some people think 9/11 was. This puzzled me, as I've been to the USS Arizona Memorial. I've seen the wreck, and the oil that still leaks from it. I mentioned that, and he was surprised. He didn't know how shallow the harbor was, and thought that the memorial was FLOATING on a patch of deep ocean, over a wreck that may or may not actually be there. 🤦♂
It happened and it was a government conspiracy. They saw it coming and did nothing, on purpose.
Texas...homeschoolers here
My husband and I decided to not have kids because of his temperament, but if we did, then we would have moved to Texas! So far, we are still in New Mexico, because it is just us.
@petwifeyvoiceofreason2525 well maybe (if it's not too late) y'all might change your mind and have 1? Either way be blessed
@@Pet.Wifey.Voice.Of.Reason not advice, but a thought. having children changes you. i guess it could be for the worse, but not usually.
Yes! Children should learn about Pearl Harbor!
Yes!
They should learn how all of the major wars were orchestrated. Not the propaganda version of events we were taught as kids.
🙏🏻
They should learn the principal events as they happened.
The Japanese had gone to war in 1931. It was a full 10 years before Pearl Harbor. The US didn't want to get involved in the war. But Japan was transforming into a modern economy and needed resources and materials. So they invaded Manchuria. Then Pearl Harbor happened after the Japanese obtained a copy of General Billy Mitchell's (AAF) assessment of Pacific readiness for combat.
The rest is history.
You mean like how we knew a month ahead and opened all the hatches. Not to forget the aircraft carriers we out to see. Don't forget ww1, Spanish American War, Vietnam, gulf War, 3 towers fall mmm and how now Google says nasa faked it... once you go flat you never go back
Don't forget the awesome treatment of both civilians and POW's by the Japanese military, too. That will further the left's argument on how bad the US was/is.
Yes
How is this even a question? It Happened. It's History. It was even a pivotal moment in not just American History, but world history. I think that maybe we should talk about the context in which it's taught, but it does need to be taught. and by the context in which it's taught, I mean that it wasn't that one event alone that drew us into the war, it was a long string of diplomatic failures, attacks, disagreements, etc., culminating in the Pearl Harbor Surprise Attack. Those other events are important.
When I was in college history, this event was covered, and the professor asked "Was Japan right in bombing Pearl Harbor?" and one student answered "Yes, because the US Dropped two nukes on them." This is what you get for not only not teaching history, but failing to teach it properly brings you.
Define kids. By 12 years old kids are playing GTA, so by 12 they should know about pearl harbor
Why are all the books in the shelves backwards?
I watched Michael bag movie when I was a kid because of planes and ships
As long as theyre also taught that our government knew about it ahead of time and just let it happen
Preach it. For ignorance breeds recurrence.
All History. Accurately!!!
YES!
Yes, it happened and it's part of history. Kids these days, I'm sorry to say, don't know much about the history of World War II. Or any history for that matter.
I learned about Pearl Harbor in fourth grade. Even though I thought it was terrible what happened, I was interested enough to learn about it. I wish others would do the same.
Yes.
They should also learn about I.S.S Liberty too 😂
The U.S.S. Liberty in 4:21 history? Well, maybe you don't know why the USS Liberty was attacked by the Israelis with cannon fire and napalm.
It turns out the Liberty was telling the Egyptians the Israeli positions during a military operation by Egypt. It was a betrayal of a US allly.
The NSA wss responsible for the operation
Yea. All history is relevant
CANADA 😊
As a choice to them, and not the Hollywood version.
Yes. The more people who lived then share their stories the better. Now that generation is passing away history is being rewritten.
😊 I have heard that American you about the attack before it happened where is it true or not I do not know but knowing what I know about the government I would believe it
Yes. Next question? =0[.]o=
I learned about the second world war in the 1960's.
Of course, if I wasn't taught it in school, I would've learned about it later through misinformation.
Yes because it was the reason why we ended up in WW2.
Should also learn about why Ford, Chevy, others built trucks n parts for Germany during the War n why US gov compensated those businesses for lost profits.
Or
Japan has also fighting China and did not surrender after the A-Bombs.
Or
The countless people and First World War Veterans who protested Government’s of WW2.
Terminate your Commie BS. .. Thank you.
Now, read Theodore H White.
All publicly educated rocket-scientist in the comments... If we're teaching about false flags, maybe do 9oneone too?
Was this lady a DEI hire because I was not impressed at all. Richard is great. Also what an odd topic I'm not sure why this is even a question
We need to get back to basics in the schools.
Reading, writing, arithmetic.
Teach these kids how to create a budget and reconcile a bank account as well as how to behave in society.
The propaganda/politics/music can be electives or wait until college.
This seems ridiculous to even consider talking about with all of the more important history and teaching opportunities that are currently presenting themselves. You guys are phoning it in here big time.
Should be thought american history not lgbtq
The countless people and First World War Veterans who protested Government’s of WW2.
Or

While Japanese imperialism was horrific, would a conspiracy to allow the attack to take place not still be horrific?
Preach it... for ignorance breeds recurrence
MAKE FOR A REALLY WEAK SOCIETY .
Yes they should know our government knew what was coming and allowed it to happen. FACTS
Just stick to critical race theory and a feel good gender neutral curriculum. Kids don't need to learn ANYTHING any more.
the whole truth , not only what is pertinent to your propaganda. follow up with what happened in Europe , how many lost their lives from civilians, how many lives did it cost to invade Berlin. The real reasons behind Hiroshima and Nagasaki ( how ever you spell them) , how many Japanese civilians were toasted, how many civilians were suffering after the toast , in both cities that is . What did the US government say after they knew how many civilians are kaput > Tell the truth that the united states was involved in WW2 but not publicly. Meaning what ever Horrific attack happened . Might as well add if you want to teach children about the " KKK " about abolishing slavery but keeping the slaves * ironic" teach them about Ota Benga . Teach them how to spot a fake laugh " and we are safe hahahaha " . Teach them about Vietnam , Cuba, others Guantanamo Bay Summer resort . You teaching them about sexuality and how to change so you might wanna teach them something useful .
Yess. And tell the kids that Trump and the Russians did the attack.
Japan has also fighting China and did not surrender after the A-Bombs.
