    Wholeheartedly agree, history books are basically propaganda. Like, I it get if you don’t want to get into the gory details of war, but if that’s the case, why talk about murdering civilians at all.

    Americans learn everything about the middle-eastern conflict from Sept. 11th, 2001 and on. They don’t know anything of what happened before then, or why these evil bastards were so mad, etc.

      Do they actually get anything about the “and on” bit in high school? Feels like the kind of thing they’d have to wait til uni for.
