What were you taught about your country's history?
Were you taught about all of the good things and none of the bad?
I had to take a special course (Liberal Arts 11) to learn about the entirety of Canadian history as opposed to smiles and victory.
Can you guess where this picture was taken?

No? It looks like something the Nazis did, doesn't it?
But it is, in fact, a child who died in a British concentration camp in the Second Boer War. I need an answer from a highschool grad on whether or not they were taught about the atrocities committed during the Boer war by the British and their Canadian allies.
And Americans...

The Phillipine war... Again, a highschool grad from America; were you taught about this?
I don't know about your education, but it seems to me that a lot of the "bad stuff" has been left out.
