    I wasn't taught any of that stuff in school. The history they did teach was boring, so I studied ancient China instead. Mostly world history, but surprisingly, not a lot about the Cold War, WWII, nor any of the world's major atrocities. I live in Cali. That could be why. I graduated high school 10 years ago. I only imagine it's gotten worse.

    They're taught Jefferson owned slaves but the teachers forget to mention that Jefferson did more to end slavery than anyone who has ever lived including banning importation of slaves as president and making the freedom of slaves part of the DOI. It was voted down but the "endowed by their creator..." part eventually led to the end of slavery worldwide.

    I was taught that socialism and communism were good and that capitalism is bad.  I was educated at a Montessori and Waldorf school and various liberal arts colleges.  I'm a progressive Democrat

    When I was in school We said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning before class began! A Picture of President of Reagan was on the wall and we were told nothing good comes from Communism.

    The Left wing run schools teach kids to sing praises to obongo and the "joys" of homosexual relations.... they don't have time for important subjects.
