I learned about racism, slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, and the Trail of Tears in my K-12 education. I never learned about the Holodomor, Cultural Revolution, and 100 million dead from global communism. American schools haven't "whitewashed" history; they've "redwashed" it.

Or they teach U.S. History much more than World History, so they focus on the United States.

The United States fought decades-long cold and hot wars against the USSR, CCP, and Marxist-Leninist satellite states in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The history of global communism *is* American history.

I don't think that makes much sense. Take your example of the Holomodor. When did it become known in the U.S. that it had happened? If it wasn't even known in the U.S., how could The Holodomore be an example of American history?

Well, American schools should definitely teach that New York Times reporter Walter Duranty covered up the Holodomor and shilled for the USSR—and won a Pulitzer that is still hotly debated today. As I said, the history of global communism *is* American history.

Sounds like your "three Rs" that should be the basics for all American schoolchildren are "Reading, Writing, and Red-sympathetic Media in the 1930s."
