When I was in school (in the stone age), we never got past the civil war in history.

They don't even start history in the local school here until 4th grade (state history). The mother of one of my kids friends told me that her son's teacher said they aren't allowed to discuss 'war' in school, even on a historical level. So.....get this, they learned a 'blurb' about Abraham Lincoln and that he freed the slaves but it was never mentioned that it took the Civil War to accomplish that...unreal.
