[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread just makes me wish we had better, or at least accurate, history books for K-12. It is embarrassing. [/quote] Sadly US education preaches the mythical exceptionalism and greatness of the white man and the west WITHOUT truly critical and evidence based analysis of our history along with world history. The reason for this is if we teach the kids the truth then we should also tell them about the horrors unleashed by the Europeans: the genocide, the plunder, the slavery, the murders and rape by millions. History is ofcourse replete with both the good and the bad but we don't want to talk about the bad. And that is the problem. We produce people believing in a history that is so truncated it just becomes an outright lie. [/quote] They DO teach all of that, at least since the 1990s. [/quote] Even at least since the 70s, in my experience, in both Catholic and public schools. [/quote]
