minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down5·1 year agoI doubt a president getting arrested is that big of a history compared to abolishing slavery or a war. It will be a footnote, or a quiz question for sure. But nothing more.
minus-squareDragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoUh huh, just like how people forgot Nixon and his peace signs.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·1 year agoNo pictures of that were in any textbooks I had. Things that paint the US in a negative light tend to be glossed over in US schools - at least, they were when I was in it ages ago. Can’t imagine that’s changed much.
minus-squareDragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoBruh, I’m pretty sure your textbooks covered Watergate, assuming you went to school after it. Now, maybe your school and/or teacher sucked and tried to cram it into their one hour coverage of Vietnam, but it was in there, I promise. (Unless you went to a religious school, then I’ll believe any claim you make but note that it isn’t typical)
