I think the biggest disservice that I received from my US Public School education was being taught that the civil rights movement was something from the past.

But they taught almost nothing about Asian Americans… :(

Same. Except for the Japanese Internment Camps…which was covered in English Lit for some reason.

As far as my high school history curriculum went, Asia , South America, and most of Africa simply did not exist. Africa only got mentioned for Egypt and slave-trade. South America because of the conquistadors and stopping there.
