They teach us about the book The Jungle yet they never assign it to our reading lists, curious isn't it?
They teach us about Helen Keller when she was a child but never about her socialist activism as an adult
They teach us the sanitized version of the civil rights movement where Martin Luther King "had a dream" and Rosa Parks sat on a bus but never about Dr. King's more radical anti-war stance or his downright socialist stance on poverty that let to the Poor People's March let alone about the Black Panthers
