Thisis a baseless claim. Personal experience doesn't count.
The overwhelming majority of history education leaves out inconvenient truth of vile and anti democratic acts committed in the name of American Capital interests.
- stcredzero 6y agoThe overwhelming majority of history education leaves out inconvenient truth of vile and anti democratic acts committed in the name of American Capital interests. Actually, the overwhelming impression I have of the "US history" in the minds of young people, is summed up by that very sentence. However, real history is always nuanced and complex. I certainly wouldn't disagree that bad things have happened in the name of US power. However, the actual history isn't that one-sided. And often, it's that one-sided skew which is then used to justify throwing out principles like due process and innocent until proven guilty.
