5. Had American History in high school

This was Catholic School in the 1980s, it wasn't until I was much older that I realized my teacher for that class was a Right Wing loon. We learned that slavery had little to do with the Civil War, that is was just to preserve the union. We learned zero about the Civil Rights movement. We learned very little about Native Americans, just that they were savages. And as a 15 or 16 year old, you don't really ask questions, especially if you're not even all that interested in the subject.

This is what Republicans want to go back to, a time when everything was white washed. A time when we didn't learn real history.
