False Dilemma Question Pack - Free Download

During the Vietnam War, young American men were given two choices: support the war, or you don't love America. That was it. No middle ground. No room for "I love my country but think this war is a mistake."

Anyone who protested was called a coward. A traitor. A commie. The complexity of their real feelings - fear, doubt, conscience - was collapsed into a single label. Pick a side or be the enemy.

That's the False Dilemma: forcing a choice between two options when there are plenty more - erasing the messy middle where most people actually live. Your kids get cornered by it constantly. At school. Online. In every "you're either with me or against me" they'll ever be handed. This free Question Pack teaches them to catch it.

What's in the free Question Pack:

• Discussion and research questions that get kids arguing about the Vietnam War era story - the productive kind of arguing
• A guided walk through how "patriot or traitor" shoved an entire nation into two extreme camps - and erased everyone stuck in between
• An answer sheet, so you can run it at the dinner table or in a classroom with zero prep

The deal, stated plainly

We teach people to spot manipulation, so it would be a bit rich to hide ours. This pack is free because it's the best advertisement we have. You hand over your email, we send the download, and every so often we'll email you about new comics, book and our card game. Unsubscribe the moment we get boring. 

One email. Check your spam folder - our goodies have a talent for landing there. 

What the free pack doesn't include

The fully illustrated Vietnam War story. The Duchess & Bruno comic. The Spot-the-Fallacy hunt through real ads and headlines. The Code Breaker, the Draw Your Own Comic page, and the hidden Gizmo kids go feral trying to find.

All of that lives in the False Dilemma Activity Pack - a 20-page printed booklet, rated 5.0 by teachers and parents on Etsy and TPT. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My kids absolutely adore the characters and story! It reminds us of horrible histories. I haven't found anything like this pack before." - Sandra

It's one of 24. Every pack takes one fallacy, one historical disaster and one comic - and turns them into a kid who is very hard to fool.
