Hey Pandas, What Historical Facts Should Be Taught More Thoroughly? (Closed)

The reason for teaching history is to learn from past mistakes in order to prevent repeating them. How can we prevent the mistakes from happening again if we don't know the truth? The US Government is not that different from communist countries that teach their children only communism. Our government is so worried about covering stuff up because they "can't be wrong".

This! I've recently heard that the British King knew that indigenous people were established communities and that's why the colonizers were not to move past the Appalachian Mountains. I'm a little fuzzy in the exact terms used by the King, but, you get the idea

All of them. Every history book I see from the schools is full of misinformation or outright lies. Especially American history. Haven't seen a schoolbook yet that teaches about the US's attempt to commit genocide during the "Indian Wars". Or the fact that there are still "dissident camps"- like the ones Japanese-Americans were forced into after Pearl Harbor-all over the country. Stop trying to cover the dirt in glory, and teach the actual history. The students can handle it.

Wonderful story. I just need to point out the forest isn’t infested with bears and wolves - they live there.
