It’s taught in a manner that makes it seem like the student is now immune to a bad thing done in the past and that now everyone knows the truth, not as an ongoing process.
It gets worse when you look past the red scare and see how they teach the cold war. The cold war where nothing but some light skullduggery and the embarrassing, but necessary Korean and Vietnam wars happened.
Nothing else of consequence. No other countries. No war crimes. Nothing of what led to the two wars ever mentioned, the millions of lives lost outside of these conflicts the broken promises of war reparations, etc, etc.
If you really want to prove that the education systems in the West are actually propaganda machines (particularly in the US), all you need to do is begin looking into the global events between 1950 and 1990.

We’re lucky they even mention the red scare.
No problem!
