History in the public secondary school system has always been a joke. It’s basically just a long list of political campaign slogans, punctuated by a short list of politically correct American wars.
That’s a pretty good description.
Western Civ has been replaced by “Globe.”
Dunno. History was pretty good when I went to elementary and HS. And the libraries actually had history books in them.
Nowadays it is “Social Studies” and “Media Centers.” And I have more books than the school library.
