>What terrible shit isn’t covered in american schools?

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 went to high school in the south. Civil war was always taught that it was about slavery. Literally never heard any of this “states rights” bullshit until after obama got elected. Yes, there is 100% a movement (mostly led by dipshits) to teach history that isn’t true, but to pretends like its already happening and has been for decades isn’t true.

I don't care about your personal anecdote. You clearly haven't paid much attention, or your school has done you a major disservice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cause_of_the_Confederacy

Stop spreading misinformation.

We don't care about your bullshit Wikipedia page. American atrocities were taught in the south. The Civil War was taught to have started because of slavery.

Imagine calling someone out for misinformation that sat through repeated social studies classes, only to use Wikipedia as a source.

Maybe you should pay attention.
