    At this point I’m honestly starting to wonder if no education at all is actually better than the American education system.

      It literally would be.

      Think about how much of “American history” is “don’t believe your lying eyes”

      “The Civil War wasn’t about slavery” (gee that’s weird since it was literally free states versus slave states)

      “It’s ok we killed all the natives because God said all the land between the oceans was ours” (gee that sure is convenient for us)

      “Government exists to amicably cooperate and figure out the way to do things that’s best for everybody” (why does literally everybody agree they’re getting fucked over then)

        Don’t forget the old chestnut about how nuking Japan saved more lives than it took, and we had to do it/didn’t know better. I still remember that one. I think some teachers still teach that.

          Yea how very American to decide the enemy population won’t surrender so we have to nuke them.

          After they’d already proposed conditons to surrender and their only request was to make their emporer the equivalent to the queen of England politically.
