I literally learned about both the Holodomor and Uighur persecution in history and civics class in high school, and we touched on it in a couple college classes as well.
Sooo you’re saying info taught from academic textbooks is all made up? Probably the type to dismiss education as “liberal propaganda” just like conservatives.
Sooo you’re saying info taught from academic textbooks is all made up?
My highschool civics classes taught that the annexation of Hawaii was the US stepping in to “restore democracy” and liberate the islands after American plantation owners established a junta with private mercenaries, alongside plenty of just trivial factual errors like claiming late 19th century American farmers were concerned over “inflation” when they were actually debtors worried over deflation. One of those classes literally taught the lie about progressive tax brackets meaning people who make more money end up with less as a fact. Highschool civics classes are literally just propaganda classes with textbooks written by far-right thinktanks.
My college poli-sci class literally taught that “socialism is when the government does stuff and when it does a lot that’s communism.”
Schooling and academia is plagued with errors, propaganda, and brainworms, whether those come from active institutional efforts to spread disinformation, shitty quality control from for-profit publishers, or teachers who are themselves ignorant or have brainworms.
No problem with education as an academic myself, but American education is kind of seen as a joke to us non-Americans. School shootings aren’t exactly good for learning, and if you didn’t want people accusing the American education system of propaganda its probably not a good look to make kids mindlessly chant to pledge submission your your god and a flag. Hope that helps!
Least brainwashed american

It really depends man, like in Poland right now academic textbooks are saying homosexuality is a modern de.gene.racy brought on by communist ideology.
Do you trust that your country will give you honest and unbiased info about its enemies?
