'Clashing narratives': How are young Americans today taught about 9/11?
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As the United States approaches the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a significant portion of the population has no personal memory of the event. Media reports examine the evolving educational approaches and differing narratives used to teach younger generations about the attacks and their aftermath.
WHY IT MATTERS
Understanding how historical tragedies are taught reveals how collective memory and national identity are shaped for generations that did not experience the events firsthand.
An estimated 100 million Americans, almost a third of the population, were either not yet born or were too young to remember the September 11 attacks. Now, as the US marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, how are young people in America being taught about what happened that day and its consequences? France 24's Douglas Herbert takes a look.
