Nations require common, shared experiences and the "history wars" are a proxy for the bigger problem that Americans haven't had a shared experience since World War II. No amount of revising curriculums will change that.

It is a rank myth that all Americans enjoyed the WWII victory in the same way. Hardly a unifying moment.

You would think that a pandemic that killed 600K and counting would be a shared experience. But no.

I am trying to find a statement they have made that was unifying that wasn’t hate based by any stretch of imagination and it does not happen. Just not the hard-working type. Just kidding. Sure!

Nations require experiences that make members more alike. Schools do that national health services help national military or civil service can do it. The US doesn’t have a national curriculum (obviously) so we’ve relied on wars and 2 big ones the CW and WWII have gone a long way

The WoT has probably made members of the nation more alienated from one another, as have other big things like austerity and media fragmentation. So the “history wars” burn hotter.
