Can you really blame schools for this though?
They only have so much time and history is well... very long.
IMO, history in non-college schools should be focused on the basic cliff notes on what happened and move on to the next thing. It should be just enough to mildly cover the huge events and to hopefully spark an interest in the child to continue on learning.
i mean, it certainly isn't perfect but i found the HRC removal to be kinda of funny. At best she would have gotten a 3 sentence paragraph about being the first woman nominee for a large party and then it would have moved on.
comic boooks never ending problem. Can't really kill main people too often because you need them for sales but you wanna kill someone for stakes so you pick some D lister who someone may have heard of once or twice to kill so you can get on the comic book websites for a couple days.
Whatever happened to putting someone in a coma or hurting them or something lol?
