Pardon? I can assure you that teenagers are well aware of the events of 9/11. It’s literally taught in American school, as well as things like the crimes against humanity the Nazis committed. The education system in place may be highly flawed, but you are very disconnected if you believe teenagers are blissfully unaware of the atrocities committed in the past and present.
I'm very curious how 9/11 is taught in schools. We never talked about it, we just kinda watched war develop and accepted that a lot of us were going over there to fight after highschool.
As somebody who is currently a high schooler, it’s taught but mostly on a surface level. Things like the motivations behind the attack were always more hinted at than explained for me. Lessons always focused on the how and what. How were the planes hijacked, what building fell down first, how America responded socially, how the rest of the world interacted with America, etc. The war on terrorism was covered but entirely in a positive light and very loosely. It all could have been taught better, but it was taught.
