here are 1.5 million Japane… about what Hitler was doing — and since it was the Japanese who did that, we have to be sensitive. Don’t you realize there are 1.5 million Japanese Americans in this country, many in classrooms across the nation? Aren’t you concerned about how learning of the actions of others who share their ancestry might make them feel? So screw your great-granddad and his sacrifice. Japanese feelings have to be protected.

Damn straight, eh? If we can't teach about the US internment camps Japanese-Americans were herded into (yes, just like the Jews at the beginning of the German actions against them), because it will make white kids feel shame, then we can't make Japanese-Americans feel shamed over Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
Your essay makes very cogent and wonderfully acerbic points.
