So, in short, no evidence.

One plan previously on the site suggested that the teachers discuss "historical instances of American intolerance" and cites the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II as an example.

If one of the concerns the NEA had was the sort of thing we saw in the news today and yesterday about Florida in which there might be horrific attacks on mosques in this country, then more power to them. Anything that can be done in classrooms to discourage that kind of thinking should be done.

As for the Japanese American internment during World War II, that was clearly an instance of American intolerance.
