> Some famines are caused by misguided collectivization / socialism enforced by the state This looks deliberate, not misguided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor#Causes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor#Causes regions with higher Ukrainian population shares were struck harder with centrally planned policies corresponding to famine, and Ukrainian populated areas were given lower amounts of tractors which were correlated to a reduction in famine mortality, ultimately concluding that 92% of famine deaths in Ukraine alone along with 77% of famine deaths in Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus combined can be explained by systematic bias against Ukrainians [..] Under the collectivism policy, for example, farmers were not only deprived of their properties but a large swath of these were also exiled in Siberia with no means of survival. Those who were left behind and attempted to escape the zones of famine were ordered to be shot. > If you’re going to teach things, you need to find patterns and try to discern the root causes. Otherwise you’re just imparting biased propaganda to students. This implies that history currently is taught so as to find patterns and causes, and that teaching the Holodomor for some reason wouldn't entail patterns and causes. It is a fully general answer that could excuse any event from being taught. A non-answer. And to answer your question, yes, I knew about all of them.
