The only thing required is a free library card, no need to be a student. I just checked, and it includes The Atlantic.

Check with your local library, you may also have access to these free resources.

Mainstream journalism reflected very different attitudes to the present. An article discussing the "Yellow Horde" would be a great lesson about how Asians were described and treated in that time. Seeing it, in the seventies, was an eye-opener.
These are History, and should be studied to inform on our origins, and the origins of feelings and attitudes toward others with whom we share a planet.
Our children are entitled to know the truth, that they may avoid repeating the plethora of carnage that has dumped us on this precarious precipice.
The notion that revealing our past will cause our children to feel uncomfortable SHOULD be regarded as good news, indicating they may possess some degree of empathy for their Brothers and Sisters. The salient point is they have no need to feel responsibility for the horrors of the past if they weren't responsible for the actions. Denying our History guarantees we will stumble through the same travesties over and over again, continually reworking the same failures to co-exist.
So, YES. HELL YES... Thanks to The Atlantic for offering their journalism as adjunct to lessons in History and Civics...
As long as their Constitutional right to Freedom Of Speech remains unabridged, ironically enough.
