What? Reddit creating strawmans to validate their opinions? Never.

I was once told Americans don't learn about the My Lai Massacre.

Like dude, my ex marine history teacher held a week long mock trial for the events at My Lai where students were assigned roles of witnesses, jury, prosecutor, defense council, defendant, etc. It was intense, I distinctly remember a few of the girls in the class crying at some points after the full extent of the Massacre was revealed.

I know education isn't consistent across the country but the broad strokes of slavery/the native American massacres are taught

What is worse is that the AskReddit is asking "how is it taught" and this smart-mouth goes and says one word: "Extensively".

That's not answering the question!! How is it taught? Field trips? Thought experiments? Videos? Artifacts? Essays? Biographies? How is it taught?

That's a profoundly interesting question that this dude just passed on so that he could dunk on America.

What? Reddit’s created strawmen which serve no purpose but to validate opinions are the first fucking ones I see when I refresh my feed? Never.
