    What exactly do you think they’re paid to do? Because I sure as hell didn’t hear more than a minute about stonewall, Malcolm X, Vietnam, or even the Philippines in history class until I was in college. Of course, I heard lots about Rosa Parks and sit ins, but the only real violence we learned about during the civil rights movement was against Emmett Till or MLK.

      I heard more than a minute about them, and I went to school in Texas. Had entire chapters on civil rights and vietnam.

        I had chapters on civil rights too, just very narrowly scoped to be compatible with not making the USA look bad. How did your school handle Waco and the aids epidemic?
