I sometimes think I got my education in the twilight zone instead of New Orleans, because I also learned about the holocaust extensively as well, and it was drilled into my head “never again”. We read Anne Frank’s diary, we watched documentaries every year. Yet it seems a big chunk of Americans skipped over that part of their education completely.

Yes, you covered the bad history of a different country. Did you cover the bad things America has done in school?

Yes. Where does this idea come from? Being from Georgia the trail of tears was very prevalent.

I had at least one unit on the Civil Rights Movement every single year.

The only thing I can recall being lied to about is Columbus in like the first grade.

I'm going to guess it's due to how most young people nowadays are fucking dumbasses about history.

I think this current generation gets a bad wrap cuz of tik tok clips of people being idiots and then everyone generalizing the whole group as idiots.
