In my (public school) experience, the Anti-Federalist Papers were taught only as an excerpted footnote while giving more airtime to the contents of the Federalist Papers. Another one of those "winners write history" effects - the losing argument is only remembered as a foil to the winning arguments.

The only history course I remember having much substance was the madatory "state history" course we had to take in 7th grade. Of course, I may have just not been paying attention.
