Teaching the US history in schools and college

[dead0man]

I'm still trying to figure out who is getting these one sided, "US is never wrong, slavery wasn't so bad for blacks and the Natives had it coming" history lessons.  I learned US history a LONG time ago and we certainly were not indoctrinated in this way.  None of my kids were taught that way (and one of them went to school in suburban (partly rural even) Atlanta).

The biggest issues I had with history education in public school was that it covered the same stuff over and over and the world history we got was minimal.  Ancient Greece "discovered" democracy, then there was the Roman empire (look at that map!).  Oh, and Egypt was a thing!  Then <scary voice> the dark ages happened</voice>.  Then we discovered the new world.  Here are the same 5 explorers we're going to ask you about on the test every year.  Magellan went around the world!  Then US history starts and world history stops happening (unless the US is involved).  Rev War, "remember the Alamo!", Civil War, (maybe a little reconstruction), remember the Maine!, maybe a little WWI, WWII and that was the end of history (if we even got to WWII).
