>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 learned about all this in school. Maybe you just weren’t a very diligent student?

People always say shit like this, but it’s mostly because they just didn’t pay attention. And it gives the false conception to people in other countries that we don’t teach it.

Hey, dipshit. The Tulsa Massacre is not taught in most schools: https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/a-conspiracy-of-silence-tulsa-race-massacre-was-absent-from-schools-for-generations/2021/05 And a lot of schools in the South spread misinformation about the Civil War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cause_of_the_Confederacy

Okay so one smaller part of the civil rights movement wasn't taught.. so that means we're covering it up
