Having gone to high school in California, we never covered Mexican-american or Spanish-american wars, civil war focused almost exclusively on slavery. 90% of WW2 was about Japanese internment or how racist nuking Japan was. History of Communism was never mentioned for obvious reasons.

      Quite dystopian. Equal opportunity is a universal value that everyone can agree to strive for. Equalized outcomes is a dystopian nightmare (equity). The move to blur the lines between these two concepts is disturbing.
