Like you'd have a chapter on the revolutionary war and section 2 would be on george washington and equal-length section 3 would be on molly pitcher.

Date: June 9th, 2026 11:53 AM Author: deranged stead striped hyena George Washington Carver was ridiculous. Looking back I have to think a bunch of low-level textbook-writing libs thought they were promoting like a "personal favorite" of sorts and didn't realize they were about to over-educate the populace on a historical figure to a degree not seen before or since.
I also theorize that it's a millennial thing, and if you ask a gen z or x they'll only vaguely recognize the name and may not even be able to connect him to peanuts. |

Date: June 9th, 2026 1:20 PM Author: slap-happy theater stage deer antler I think there is a direct line between the insane over-teaching on Carver and the Dylan Roof shooting. I think he mentioned him by name in his manifesto. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5872449&forum_id=2Reputation#49925421) |

even a traditional pre-shitlib curriculum has way too much focus on american history which is why normie americans are so clueless about the world.
also the focus on state history is totally pointless. |

I can't help but laugh at cuckservative types getting on board with her being on the $20 bill instead of Jackson as though she's some beacon of the 2nd amendment.

Date: June 9th, 2026 1:50 PM Author: pink point Dunno what you guys were smoking. I still remember learning about the Concert of Europe and how China was divided up by westerners and shit, plus other obscurities. Plus lots of lead-up to the US Civil War and reconstruction. Hot Girls and proles spaced out COMPLETELY through all of this. To this day, many Women think WWII took place in the 1950s.
It wasn’t really that liberal iirc. You learned about American Indians but you didn’t Worship them. The complete lack of Women doing a single thing ever appeared to all but validate the Scumchud perspective.
Imho, fwiw — those who do not major in history are doomed to repeat it. |
