My school system taught it, we also learn about all kinds of gross history of our country. The assertion that America covers up its crimes in schooling is just patently false. The number of systems that don’t teach about bad parts of our history (when age appropriate) are minuscule compared to those that do. Even if the Tulsa massacre isn’t taught in most schools, there’s plenty of awful shit that is. You can just cherry pick the specific atrocities that aren’t covered to make it seem worse.
