I remember being a kid wishing there was more world history being taught. Seemed like we got a touch of world history in 6th grade and 9th grade but between those spaces was all US History
What world history do they teach in the US?
How Ancient Greece created Western Democracy and separated us from the savages.
Franz Ferdinand got assassinated and that was bad, therefore assassinations only make things worse.
WWII and how the US saved the world.
Russians were scary but America won.
Spot on. Make sure the kids know the US is exceptional.🤢
Yeah this is pretty accurate
Fascist world history, aka, Republican party history. Seems their failed fascist "Business plot" was skipped over in school history books.
The only reason it failed was because the traitors mistakenly chosen a good and loyal American soldier who informed FDR of the plot.
Smedley Butler is a name that has essentially been forgotten due to his later views on American business interests and foreign imperialism.
I remember HS history was incredibly neutered. It was still America is Heroes. There were small cracks, like Japanese internment camps. Or the Trail of Tears. But they had a single paragraph or two. I remember reading about the Vietnam war and how people "feel" about it.
Only during college did I read about real history. Things like our meddling in the Philippines. Our meddling in South America. Our meddling in Southeast Asia after WW2. Not to mention real American history, like Black Wall Street.
The worse is that the text books are owned by conservatives, so expect even more neutering/white washing. Combined with religious folks hating modern education and homeschooling, and we got ourselves some backwards ass folks.
MAGAts got raised?
