> I mean the US likes to forget it had concentration camps for the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. Yeah - my wife was mentioning such camps near here in Phoenix to one of her coworkers who's younger and they'd never been taught about them at school (here in Arizona!): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_River_War_Relocation_Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_River_War_Relocation_Cent... https://saltriverstories.org/items/show/338 https://saltriverstories.org/items/show/338 I think we have our own version of "forgetting" going on, but we call it "no child left behind" and "common core" and things like that. By this I mean it (and tons of other history and other topics) seem to fall by the wayside in favor of "higher scores on standardized testing" - not because of any concerted government effort or anything like that... Note: My wife knows about it because she loves Arizona history, in part because she went to school with and is a friend of our state historian's son (or grandson? can't remember), so she's heard lots of this state's history from "tales around the campfire", so to speak. EDIT: Rethought my response; it seemed a bit trite or something. Wanted to clarify it.
