A Quiz to See if U.S. Schools Taught You State Propaganda
U.S. schools provide a great deal of useful information, but also leave out
a great deal. Can you answer these questions? How many can your kids answer?
Can your kids' teachers answer them? Can your parents answer them? Can your
uncle who tells you whom to vote for and what to think answer them?
These questions are not intended to comprise an ideal comprehensive course
in U.S. or world history. They are intended as a quick sampling of the sort
of material that would be included, along with other material, in a basic
education that wasn't twisted by the interests of the U.S. government. There
might be many questions I would have chosen to include in the place of some
of these if I knew more. I was educated in public schools in Fairfax
Country, Va., where the schools were ranked among the best in the country. I
have a Master's in philosophy from the University of Virginia. I didn't
learn the answer to a single one of these questions in any school.
If you can give a generally accurate response to most of these questions,
you have almost certainly gone out of your way to learn things not taught in
U.S. schools. If you find most of them difficult to answer, I would urge you
not to quickly conclude that this is because the topics asked about are of
minor importance. Please consider with an open mind whether these questions
are not in fact central and vital to the education of a citizen of the
United States. And please consider how they relate to what you would expect
people in other countries to learn about their own histories.
Take the Quiz.
