I have now taught some 80 learners on Outschool, and this is the third such course that involves an assassination. This adds natural drama to the lesson, but it is also instructive as to the challenges facing our country even today, with the recent Capitol Insurrection. Prior to Outschool, I taught college students at Marymount California University. American History includes many sad chapters, with violence and genocide against American Indians, and racism against people of color such as African Americans in the South and Japanese Americans during World War II. I exercise sensitivity in my approach to these topics and avoid gratuitous sources. I also have a master's degree from Pepperdine University (2010), so I was taught these same subject by my professors there, and also instructed in the approach to difficult topics.
