This lesson asks students to investigate the compelling question, “Can education be cultural genocide?” by examining U.S. imperialism in the Philippines and the role white American women played in cultural retraining through education. Through primary sources, discussion, and inquiry-based activities, students analyze multiple perspectives, evaluate evidence, and construct their own arguments. The lesson integrates diverse learning strategies and culminates in evaluative or creative tasks such as debates, seminars, or written arguments to deepen historical understanding.
