Schools don't teach real history. Like they don't teach you the first legal slave owner in America was a black man and that the vast majority of black slaves were owned by blacks, so called natives, Hispanics and ethnic Jews. They only tell you the lie that it was all white people, when in reality it was 1.4% of the entire white population, and they were all rich people. Nor did they teach you the so called native Americans colluded with Hitler to aid him in the invasion of America. Nor do they teach you the swastika is used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. They just tell you it's the most evil thing ever. They also don't teach you Hitler, like Angela Merkel, was very fond of the religion of Islam. So, yeah, they don't teach you anything real. Learn real history, you'll be astonished. Learn about the crusades and how it took the church 700 years to organize to fight back Islamic genocides and conquests, and that it was never the Christians who started it. But they did finish it by doing to the enemy what had been done to them. Real history is so much more fun. And eye opening.
