Date: June 9th, 2026 11:38 AM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) I recall a social studies textbook that was OBSESSED with wedging women into everything. Like you'd have a chapter on the revolutionary war and section 2 would be on george washington and equal-length section 3 would be on molly pitcher.

Yet I didn't know dick about the World Wars except, of course, the Holohoax. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5872449&forum_id=2Reputation#49925079) |

Date: June 9th, 2026 11:53 AM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) George Washington Carver was ridiculous. Looking back I have to think a bunch of low-level textbook-writing libs thought they were promoting like a "personal favorite" of sorts and didn't realize they were about to over-educate the populace on a historical figure to a degree not seen before or since.
I also theorize that it's a millennial thing, and if you ask a gen z or x they'll only vaguely recognize the name and may not even be able to connect him to peanuts. |

Date: June 9th, 2026 11:52 AM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) I don’t think I learned a single thing about the Civil War in K-12. Always found that odd. To this day I still don’t really know anything other than the glorious northern tri-staters Won the Gen. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5872449&forum_id=2Reputation#49925091) |

Date: June 9th, 2026 11:55 AM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) To the genuine credit of the South (northern xoers have heard this, and I could see them thinking it's BS), I was taught K-10 consistently that the Civil War was "not about slavery".

Date: June 9th, 2026 12:18 PM Author: zarathustra learning about feather indians could be interesting even if the shitlib impulses of middle aged female teachers colored it in stupid ways. it's legitimately interesting that we were living beside ~stone age civilizations for a few centuries. the overemphasis of stuff like irrelevant early 20th century populist trivia was far worse.

Date: June 9th, 2026 12:08 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., american history, at the expense of world history.
even a traditional pre-shitlib curriculum has way too much focus on american history which is why normie americans are so clueless about the world.
also the focus on state history is totally pointless. |
