History its self is the bigest lie in school because all you learn is what is decided by who ever one a war or who ever was in power at that time... bigest example is tthe masicure of wounded knee was called a battle for decades untill the native people got together and said some thing then it was rewriten as a masicure but that was done in the 90s

That your justice system works (no matter where you live). Any many other things. Seen many shocked young people, when they get out in the real world. Now... It is taking them longer & longer to be independent.

Checks and balance system. Everyone now days just want to push their agendas as a legislator, executive, or as a judge.

I agree with the History part. I have been reading my daughters history books for 7th and 8th grades, and there is nothing in there of the Jewish Holocost, the slavery atrocities, or that our "Founding Fathers" ran brothels, Jefferson had more than 100 kids from his slaves, as well as most of our Leading men of the time. None of this is stated anymore.

Do you have any realistic evidence of this? (links, certain textbooks, etc) Im kind of a history buff, especially American history, and have never heard this....even in a cpl of in depth college classes. A thorough google search also yielded nothing to substantiate this. Jefferson is assumed to have had either 6 or 7 children with one of his slaves, but even that number is now disputed.
