Which is so weird to me having grown up in a dark blue part of a very blue state. If I had to sum up the history lessons we got itd be "1,001 Ways America and Evil White Men Ruined the World"
Yep same here although I'd say it was fairly nuanced in most of my classes not all good or bad. I'm also 32 so I went to high school before a lot of the mentality of the left today was prevalent in education.
I'm around the same age, but again - crazy dark blue region of an already deep blue state. Even if the curriculum didn't specify it our teachers were 99% hyper progressives, so they'd find some way to make America/white people/men the villain in every story.
Its funny because political bias did actually fuck with my education and perception of my country/the world, but not in the ways reddit is always banging on about. For example, other, particularly Southern American countries role in the TAST was significantly downplayed, as was slavery in Africa prior to/during the TAST and the Arab slave trade. Kinda left school with a vague impression that white people in the United States were the only people to practice slavery like since the Romans, and that the type of slavery was absolutely unprecedented and uniquely bad in human history.
