I'm convinced all the people saying that America doesn't teach what happens to the Indians (besides the first Thanksgiving) stopped paying attention in history class after elementary school.
true, i remember slavery being a literal paragraph in texas history textbook. Next to no mention of American indians outised of tejas means friend
My education I got in Ohio was abysmal about this shit. Most of it was just review after elementary. And I say that as someone who would read the textbooks cover to cover.
A people’s history of the US was probably pivotal for me properly turning left, didn’t find it until well afterwards though.
"this wasn't my experience, so it didn't happen"
or you could listen to the people telling you otherwise, but why do that?
Yeah, my education didn't cover who taught whom about corn. It definitely covered reservations and forced marches and murder and sickness. Maybe we can cover all of that in a couple of weeks and forget how much time it took and what was covered?
