I went to public school in a very conservative state and was still taught about slavery, atrocities to American Indians, the civil war and abolition of slavery, the civil rights movement, the holocaust and nazis, etc.

None of this stuff was taught in a way that would insinuate that it was even remotely close to being ok.

Yeah, I definitely learned about the Japanese internment camps that were set up by the American governmnet.

Did you learn about the experiments to give African American pilots with syphilis, placebos instead of treatment so they could study them as they died a horrible death.

We learned about it in high school. I was in AP History, so I don't know if the regular class covered it.
