I was in high school at least a decade later than you, & we didn’t go past WWII. Fortunately I had read about events more recent than the 1940s on my own. Still remember taking the AP US history exam & panicking: so much on Vietnam, Kora, Cold War!

And they didn’t teach real history anyway. They taught and still teach an alternate version that overlooks/lies about the real stuff so as not to upset school board members who won’t buy text books that don’t conform to their vision of the US as a beacon of freedom and democracy.

To be fair, when we were in high school we would have learned about Vietnam from the news when we were a little younger.
