You’re going to a shitty school if they don’t cover this. We went over a part of it at least once a year. It’s it’s a you problem if you don’t know this by the time your done.
a majority of states wouldn’t teach this if they could and there in lies the problem; if 2/3rds of all schools are shitty, then that is what’s normal and you’re going to have to live, work, vote & die along side people with that education.
I remember my 4th grade teacher having us read one page about the Daughters of the Confederacy, the teacher briefly discussing the struggles of former slave-owners, and skipping the rest of the chapter on slavery due to “not having enough time.” IIRC, even the textbook painted the Daughters of the Confederacy in a positive, or at least neutral light.
I remember my 7th grade health teacher showing us a Christian anti-masturbation video for our sex-ed requirement. This was a rural public school in a northern state. Only other option was a private Catholic school, but my family wasn’t Catholic, and my family wouldn’t have been able to afford to send me there if they wanted to.
I don’t think I even knew about the trail of tears until the middle of high school; and definitely didn’t learn about the motivation for hunting Buffalo to extinction.

You’re not from Florida, Louisiana, or Texas then.
Everyone’s books are based on Texas standards.

If you don’t know this I can see why you didn’t know the original question either.

It’s not the schools. It’s the occasionally the teachers and mostly the students.

I don’t remember voting on the curriculum last time I was in school.
I can now though, so thank you for telling me about this. It definitely should have been included.
You have a massive amount to catch up on before even considering voting for school books

This is either a lie or incompetence on the parents for not suing. As has been done repeatedly.
