  • On the one hand, every country has a fucked up history that they ain’t teaching in classes

    I don’t think it is being intentionally obscured, it’s just too specific for elementary or high school education. There’s a chance a teacher could use it as spotlight type thing, but overall, that level of education is too broad.

    The US does teach about screwing over indigenous people and slavery… well maybe not in red states. And now the current administration is whitewashing history.

    Also, it sounds like those two things are the same hand. What’s your country?




  • People have grandiose expectations of elementary or high school education. At best, you have time to cover topics at a very high level and I’ve never had a class that even made it to the twentieth century.

    As important as this historical tidbit is, it’s not a condemnation of history education. More than likely, this would come about in a college level course that is more specific.
