    Do high school history and social studies classes have a day or a week that discuss US imperialism & shady dealings of recent decades?

    No, that’s the entire curriculum. Kinda impossible not to properly discuss a country’s hystory without mentioning the US when the US has been fucking with it

      Which country?

      In Brazil there have been several pretty important meddlings, but at most the schools say that there where “several parties involved”

      Like our dictatorship, where I’d only learnt “other countries incentivized the coup”

        I’ve heard from many south american comrades, that their school systems have memory-holed this entire historical period of anti-communist massacres. Only now with the pink tide in some of these countries, is there any chance of liberals getting educated about their past.

          Oh yeah, 100%

          No, that’s the entire curriculum […]

          I was asking about what country has US meddling as a considerable fraction of the curriculum

            Pretty much only the AES countries. Vietnam, Laos, DPRK, China, Cuba.

              I wonder what kind of acrobatics occupied Korea has to go through in their national history books.
