WW2 isn't really even taught in high school anymore. It's usually like one day in US history class.

I graduated HS just over 10 years ago and we werent expected to remember dates and we didnt study the actual wars, only the causes and affects.
In my AP American History class we spent an entire semester on the causes of the civil war....and maybe 2 days on the war itself. If nothing else, I think its disrespectful to the veterans. |

The one girl that said the Pearl Harbor attack led to the US entering the war more was actually kind of correct.
We were supporting the war effort before that. Also, most of those girls get a pass.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Shit started happening right about the time when HISTORY became SOCIAL STUDIES. I can remember, my teacher was a fairly young guy who really knew his shit. He made no bones about the fact that the Soviets were the bad guys, that Communism was a terrible system of government, and he predicted that if we managed to avoid a war, the Soviet Union would eventually collapse economically.

This is an example of why I am scared to death that our citizens will lose all of their freedoms.
When people like this vote without understanding history or knowing something about current affairs and cause and effect; when they just vote for the one the TV says is "the nice guy", they will enslave us all. |

Sad. I'm only 5yrs removed from HS, but thankfully we had a pretty good US History class all-around. Even the idiots from our class could've done better than those girls.
My AP class was of course more in-depth & we had 12 guys + 12 girls in the class, so I know those 12 ladies could've answered all of the questions without hesitation. We we spent about a month on each WW, and we even did a re-enactment of Aaron Burr vs Alexander Hamilton with water balloons during class at some point because we were special

We had already picked sides, but clearly didn't enter until the attack. Obviously our Lend-Lease policies supported only one side of the conflict, but realistically the other side couldn't do anything about it but suck on it. Japan jumped the shark when they attacked us. They had no path forward to win, except hoping we would give up. |
