Going back to my HS days and College, we studied world history, but the world seemed to be the USA and Europe. Nothing about China other than the mongol invasions, the Boxer Rebellion, and Hong Kong. Japan was a feudal society and we open the door to Japan. India?? Don’t recall anything but Ghandi. Russia got into world history via the war and the Communists. Did we ever get into anyone else besides Europe? Yes but only lightly. Ancient history was Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Macedonian. Most of the focus was on the European continent. So? She may have a point. However, finding anything written that dates back more than 2000+ years to support it could be a problem?
History study has to be streamlined somehow, and that is why it is important to learn about Greece, and not the aboriginals of Australia.
Studying the ancient history of Sub-Saharan Africa just isn’t important to nations of the planet in a general sense for common knowledge, if something gets cut, that is one of those things that are expendable.
Western Civ. got us to the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Pax Americana. If you had to pick one thread of history with the best outcomes it would be ancient Greece to America.
You could do a follow up on failed states that would include tribalism, socialism, genocide and the rest of the world.
Good Lord. This woman does NOT “have a point” as you stated. She is the type who wants REVENGE over equality.
