I was taught nothing about our history in school actually. I vaguely remember doing a play about Donner Pass and a term paper about the Beatles...THAT'S IT!
My history teachers were all coaches so our class environment involved projection movies about random shit like tape worms in Latin America so the coach/teacher could work out his plays for the game that night. And if we lost that game...the next day was a nightmare in class.
Not only did I not learn about any presidents, our geography as a nation in general or any wars, I learned nothing of slavery, Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Rosa Parks, or any other african american history.
Coastal Orange County schools leave quite a bit to be desired as I aced many classes without taking my book out of my locker and I am not Mensa-ish, lol.
