  The first one obviously.

  unfortunately, i think you'll find that DX is far too edgy for any school curriculum because it's far too true to life. school curriculums are not intended to capture the nuance of how a "terrorist" group like the NSF might gain popular support and even the moral high ground as a result of their efforts to reduce the inequality of vaccine distribution. an inequality of distribution that our society is all but destined to replicate, as soon as we have a vaccine for COVID-19. nor are school curriculums interested in provoking critical thought by posing questions like "what if powerful groups of people are conspiring for their own gain, even when it results in mass misery?" this too we have already covered in the pandemic, when trump's political allies recieved preferential access to the right to sell protective equipment that was in short supply even when their need for it was minimal and the consequences of their greed was mass death. put differently: school curriculums exist to prevent enlightened dissenters from existing, not to make more of them. i'd be all for having it be part of a course, but it's just too real.

  I remember I gained a ton of interest in medieval Japan from Shogun Total War. No clue how historically accurate it was, but there are a lot of ‘period piece’ games that could really set the tone for a history course (Rome Total War, there’s a bunch for WW2, etc). Very underutilized.

  DX is one of the few games I've played through more than once. DX is a lot longer, and is fundamentally a FPS. It's a work of art of gaming, and were this a school on game design, I would absolutely agree with you. TWOM is a work of literary art. If you haven't played it, do so, but be warned: it hits hard, emotionally.
