chanting: get the hell out of new orleans.nd it's a problem. so why such opposing views about what should and should not be represented on the streets of new orleans? well, it's partly down to the fact that even to this day there are such different ways of teaching things like the civil war, of slavery and segregation in schools in this city. how much of the slave history did you learn? i realized that if you had a white teacher you did not really learn too much because they did not want to feel uncomfortable in the class or you had black teachers, you learned a lot. if you were constantly told, as like a young child, maybe it was like your grandparents or something, the great old glory stories of how it used to be, it is kind of becomes embedded in you. in many places in the us, schools can teach civil war history however they like. not even saying at all that the war was about keeping slavery. so i guess this is really about the broader issue of narrative. when that comes to monuments, it is notjust about what is there and n
