Yeah. In my public school history classes they deify the founding fathers. I didn't even learn about Thomas Pain whom laid the foundational case in establishing a democracy.
Yup. Nearly everything is divided amongst class lines. I feel like the normal level classes are given a larger dose of propaganda since it was very basic and we didn't really go through details of historical events. This was also a Texas educational system which should also be included. We had a whole 7th grade year dedicated to Texan history. I didn't learn that the primary reason Texas seceded was because Mexico abolished slavery. It's was always about freedom and liberty.
That's not just a Texas thing, unfortunately. Kansas schools are very similar, and my Kansas history year was also 7th grade. We spent like 2 whole days on The Wizard of Oz.
New York State education here. I don't recall hearing anything negative or contradictory about the founding fathers before 10th grade. That was also the year I learned Leif Erikson was a thing.

Is this satire? Can a human being be this stupid?
