I think that by not teaching kids at a young age about racism would decrease racism rates due to them not being brought up thinking they're different by where they're from or the color of their skin. I think however, that we should be taught history at a older and more mature age so we can understand our history and others and be cautious of offending words, phrases, etc.

Yes, by learning about these topics in a sensitive manner we teach students the effects that these ideologies had in the past. If we don't teach them about it that becomes the equivalent of censorship. People argue against this because they are afraid of the past and think that by bringing it up it will repeat itself when reason the opposite is true. Just because an area of our history is shameful doesn't mean that it should not be shown. "The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion."

Yes, with schools preventing kids from learning especially on issues involving race, sexuality, etc it allows that hate to be brought to them and not recognizing the history of these cultures and people.
