It has been a while since I have attended School, but I imagine there is probably no shortage on the history classes regarding Emmet Till or Harvey Milk.
There is endless information about WW2, and Nazis in all mediums, formal and informal.
It seems due for various reasons, often greatly important events or large events are never taught.
What historical events do you think everyone should know a lot about? Bolshevik Revolution? Holdomor? Armenian genocide? The real history of the continent of Africa?
The West ended Slavery, and the Left does not want people to recognize that.
I remember the time I got dragged behind a truck in a junk refrigerator like a crazy sled from hell.
That was epic.
They should serve Twinkies when teaching the history of Harvey Milk.
The French Revolution, but it needs to be taught in the proper context. It was really the start of the modern era, in political and human philosophy, and in Christianity. We are still feeling its consequences today.
Mughal genocide in India. May even Surpass the ChiCom numbers.
1) The battle of Cowpens during the Revolutionary War.
2) The Battle of the Alamo and the Victory of Sam Houston shortly after.
3) The Bay of Pigs . which was very similar to Joe Biden’s abandonment of Afghanistan, bith democrat fiascos.
The founding of our country.
Patriotism
My wife is a teacher and she hears a lot of Anti-Americanism getting taught in elementary school.
You mentioned WW2, but kids learn that the US was unjustified in dropping the bomb on Japan.
The founding of the country, war of 1812, Civil War, Spanish-American War, WW1, WW2, and so on. The kids learn to hate America.
The creation of the Federal Reserve System. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu_VqX6J93k
1. The passing of Jim Crow Laws
2. The Creation of the KKK
3. The creation of the Welfare State
1. My conception
2. My birth
3. My existence
1. Mao’s Cultural Revolution
2. Peron’s ruination of Argentina
3. Communist purges/volence before Stalin
Also, the Constitutional Convention, and The Long March Through the Institutions.
Battle of Tours 732
Siege of Vienna 1529
Battle of Vienna 1683
Most of Western Civilization has no idea, but these have absolutely determined modern history.
Great answer. I totally agree.
The truth about attitudes towards slavery from the beginning of the republic through emancipation.
Right now students think the US was founded for the purpose of maintaining slavery.
Welfare state including the history of how American ghettoes came about.
I was going to point out Tours. Western Civilization determined, indeed.
Going back further, Battle of Thermopylae.
And American Independence.
Those three pretty much define who we are.
