This is one the lesson plans that was a trigger at the time. It is a typical constructivist pedagogy.

Fixed beliefs are things like America is a good nation. You should teach the whole of history, good, bad and ugly, but stop trying to make kids reinterpret everything through modern political lenses

I'm sorry, what exactly is wrong with the lesson plan in that link? Can you please be very specific, such as citing passages?
You should try doing the work first instead of demanding others to teach you.
Why did you just go into rude and offensive mode?

I looked at the linked doc, and did not find anything objectionable. I cannot read other people's minds, so I am not sure what you are asking of me.

Are you saying that you cannot point me to what you are talking about in that lesson plan, to prove your own point? I am supposed to magically make your point for you? This is not how any of this works.

What is objectionable is the high opportunity cost. You could actually be teaching history. It is fine if you like the listen plan, but it is wrong to characterize people who think knowledge based learning is better as limiting education.
