What kind of propaganda are you guys getting? In my 9th grade American history class they didn't shy away from Native American genocide, police brutality (starting with the whiskey rebellion), and the civil war being about slavery. But that wasnt at a normal school.

Age may play a large role here.

I bet they didn't mention israel. That's completely taboo in the Epstein Empire.

When I was in elementary school my teacher said it was cool that the natives got pushed off the land and into reservations because we could make better use of the land. The same teacher also handed out worksheets wherein you had to choose the right gender for the right profession.

It all depends on the state. You were in a state that respects education.

In Florida, DeSantis declared that they weren't going to be teaching anything that made white kids ashamed of being white. They don't like kids knowing about Native Americans and Slavery.

I can't think of anything either. I remember learning about "learning styles", which ended up being debunked.

Well OP does say they didn't pay attention in class lmaooo. My public school teachs all that and it's mandatory education in Illinois

Ah see but thats a blue state with the third largest city in the country; I've heard about the education down in Floroda and let me tell you it does not come close to even the worst schools in Chicago.
