I was talking to GameMaster and his school isn't telling them a lot of things they should be telling them. Like how the French aiding the Americans during the American Revolution. And he wasn't taught about Russia's role in World War 2. He was also taught that the Natives were savages.

omfg... you
would post that, wouldn't you?
First of all, realize that your source is GAMEMASTER.
I'm also an American, and I also took US History, but I actually remember ****!
The French aided the Americans in the American Revolution, if not for the French, we never would have gained freedom. The French allied us because they had quite a thing against the Imperial British.
The Russians... they lost
masses of soldiers and civilians in both WWI and WWII. In WWII, they signed a peace contract with Hitler at the beginning of the war (and no, I don't want to remember it's name). Later, Hitler made the big mistake of invading Russia during its winter. Tough luck, Hitler.
We were taught that natives were savages as infants by freakin' cowboy movies, not by school. In US History, I was educated not by a movie, but by a textbook, that the Natives were honorable yet were pushed west countless times. Then there was the trail of tears with Andrew Jackson...
Next time you want to learn about the American Education system, ask a person who listened in class... not a random (well, that works against me) guy
in a gaming forum.
