Lol thanks. I guess it would have been nice if they went through other parts of history in public schools. All I got was various aspects of whitewashed American history. In college I took a history class based around ancient Egypt but i only needed 1 semester of that. Everything else about the roman empire i probably picked up on my own time. Actually thinking back, my public school history classes in the 80s and 90s were super packed with pro American propaganda. Even world history years were focused on WW1 and 2 and they only talked about things directly related to the US. I always found history and politics to be incredibly boring but now i know so much more than an average person and i think it's because the version of history they allowed us to see was so whitewashed and boring that it made real life seem also boring and I ended up going into science. Real life history is actually incredibly interesting.
