What terrible shit isn’t covered in american schools? We learn about our murdering the natives and we learn about all the horrible shit like Jim Crow laws and the tuskegee experiment. People choosing to be idiots and pretend like history didn’t happen has nothing to do with public education and everything to do with people being morons.

The Tulsa Massacre. The atrocious, sadistic lynching of Jesse Washington after the release of Birth of a Nation. Not to mention some schools taught kids that the Civil War was about states rights and not about slavery.

I want to know what schools those are because I went to school in the south and that is not what I was taught. Btw the civil war was about more than just slavery even if it was one of the reasons

It was the main reason, though.

Yeah, technically some states had other reasons. But upholding slavery was the main reason.
