    Wow. Really? When was this? Where was this?

    I certainly remember several times when learning American history throughout my education about the Civil Rights movement and the resistance to the Vietnam War.

    Admittedly though, I don’t know how much of that I learned in school, vs learned in Museums.

      We learned about free love and the hippie movement in school. I went to school in a very blue state.

        That’s incredible. Maybe Minnesota is just that different? My son still learned about the civil rights movement and civil disobedience in 2nd grade. Specifically they mentioned MLK Jrs marches and sit-ins, and how even something as small as Rosa Parks sitting where she wasn’t allowed to was an act of civil disobedience.

          I wonder if Id remember the cover of the text books if I saw them. Anyway, sorry your kids arent getting the education I received but to be honest, it wasn’t that great. At least for me but there are another of other personal factors that attribute to that.

            ? No, I’m saying they are getting the education I received. It’s not exactly a topic you dump on kids in second grade in its full reality. You introduce the pieces over time. Edit: I should say this is Minnesota.
