Incredibly sad that so many people in the imperial core can only learn about history when their superhero entertainment slop barely mentioned it. Watchmen had a scene showing the Tulsa massacre and millions of white people were like, "Wait, that happened?" I guess we need Spider Man 9 to have a scene detailing the Iran-Contra scandal for most people to realize that Reagan wasn't a great guy.
My favorite teacher in High School was the history teacher. Reflecting on some of the stuff he said in passing, he was probably quite right wing, but since we were in very lib Toronto he had to keep that shit to himself or risk angry phonecalls.
So instead, he really focused on critically examining history and which sources we read, and challenging established narratives. Specifically, to challange the established liberal concensus on Canadian and world history. I think in his mind this would naturally lead us to what he believed.
But in a roundabout way, what he was acutally teaching us was a materialist analysis of history, and a good portion of that class subsequently became Marxists.
