No race's history will ever willingly admit that something was better than it. It's always something else up to and including 'the will of *Deity* punishing us'.

What.

No.

Believe it or not there are places in the world where they actually try to present something of a 'nuanced' take on history, even while educating 15 year-olds.

What the gently caress are you on about wrt 'race' anyway?

I hate American education. I've learned more from Wikipedia than I ever did in school.

It's just tragic how poor the history education is in current schools. I'd imagine it's even worse in Murikah.

Considering my own mandatory history education consisted of like 2 weeks of "the Crusades" to cover this period, with the rest being covered on the side by Crusader Kings 1, before like jumping into the battle of Lützen... too much history to go around, too little history education time :saddowns:

Man, you got anything about The Crusades? I just got some generalized 'Dark ages' stuff before we hit the Rennaisance in, like, a week or two and a smash-and-grab on the Enlightenment to grab Locke and Hobbes on the way to American History. :patriot:

Be glad you even got to learn about vikings.

I hope all of you went on to get your Masters in preferably Non-Western History to right these wrongs :unsmigghh:

No this is really informative! It's interesting to see how your experience mirrors a number of developments in the teaching of history in the Dutch school system: thorough but eurocentric, rehashing of subjects, competition from non-traditional classes in HS ('Water - the wonder of nature' - lmao, I feel your pain), etc.

Something that's felt way more egregious than what was taught during primary and secondary ed was how limited the opportunities for non-Western coursework were during undergrad History.

Which is why LPs like this one are a great way to catch up on more... non-traditional subjects I guess.

Great work so far Grey and see you next week!
