    I have a hard time chalking stuff like that up to pure propaganda or purposeful exclusion. I went to very conservative schools in very conservative states, and I still learned about a lot of “controversial” topics that come up in these conversations.

    I think a lot of it is people forgetting something they were taught in school. I’ve absolutely forgotten a hell of a lot.

      I’m guessing you either went to decent schools or took ap classes where they had to teach it.

      The normal history classes I took brushed past huge swathes of history, while the ap classes actually covered them quite well.
