This is basically how it’s taught right? For instance, I know almost zero about African history, probably bcz they don’t want to teach us what we did to the African people.
No. Skipping the history of other continents is not the same thing.
I’d argue that world history is more informational and important to make civic decisions, especially in an imperialist world power like the states, than simply localized history. It just seems highly propagandized, and ignores almost entirely the global impact of the actions your country takes.
Cool. There is limited time for these lessons. Choices must be made. That doesn’t mean washing the history.
Are you arguing for the meme or against?
Are just looking to throw your opinion as to how we should be doing? (hint: that makes you a different random audience member)
I agree with this comic. Maybe I don’t understand what you were trying to say originally. It seemed to me that you were saying that it was okay to skip the history of other continents to teach only localized history.
I am responding to someone else.
I am not trying to originally say anything.
You trying to dismantle my response to that comment is a round about way of agreeing with the comment I am responding to.
Read the bottom of the meme. People writing text books have to make choices. Thinking you know better than a subject matter expert makes you the person the meme is complaining about.
I think I have better intentions than the American propagandists that make the curriculums. I don’t think “telling weird lies about the founding fathers to make them sound awesome” is a necessity, and I question the ability and motives of anyone who makes that part of the curriculum. I didn’t realize this was gonna be a controversial take.
Do you have any examples of history books that aren’t “American propagandists” creating curriculums?
Not covering the history of Sudan in an American elementary school textbook is not a propagandizing.

People generally go through at least 13 years of school. How is that not enough time to teach a world history class?
Downvoting to push your narrative is childish.
History is too vast to satisfy all those of history knowledge.
People go through grad and phd programs and are only able to become experts in narrow times and regions of history.
It’s not a narrative. I literally know zero things about the continent of Africa. I think they could spare some time within that 13 years of education to cover it.
p.s. they’re imaginary internet points dude…
Imaginary points is why it’s childish to use downvotes to show disagreement.
Your continued lack of knowledge on Africa is now your choice.
I don’t know what shit education you have that skipped all of Egypt.
Your lack of education is why you opinion in this irrelevant.
You think a topic you know nothing about could have been included, it’s hilarious ignorant and you’re arguing it against my knowledge.
You will continue to be ignorant if you cannot listen to those who are more educated.
It seems you cannot even recognize that this is the case here.
I see why the intellectuals didn’t come here after the Reddit shutdown. The overwhelming ignorance of this place is nothing like the early days of Reddit discourse.
What evidence do you have other than ungrounded confidence that there is not enough time to teach such things? You are being waaay aggressive at just asserting a thinly veiled opinion without much backing argument and facts. How about a discussion before you decide to act like some authority figure.
This shit right here is why I left public education as fast as I could. The writing was on the wall even before 2010
My wife does TK. It’s great. She does letters and how to behave.
