Search Results: how do you learn to trust

Just to clarify this for the education you received in grade, middle and high school. Not college education.

In general universities are notoriously biased in their education programs (and only getting worse). However college is also an optional education program and most college students are legally adults. Technically they should be able to make your choices whether accept ideologies as valid or not at that point in their life.

Still though I will argue that most 19 year olds are more impressionable than 35 year olds. Most people don’t start college after 30

Anyway I have been doing more research about the ww2 along the societal impact of Capitalism vs. Communism over the last two centuries. I am finding myself getting more and more pissed off at the education I received as a minor. I was never taught about the atrocities of ww2 imperial Japan, the Stalin era Soviet Union, the transatlantic slave trade or even dissenting opinions of how FDRs “new deal” prolonged the Great Depression.

I did (rightfully) learn all about the horrors of Nazi Germany, slavery in the America, the atomic bombings of Nagasaki/Hiroshima. I have no qualms about that historical education But there was so much more to the story that was at best ignorantly left out. However it seems like it was purposely left out to serve an agenda.

For example George Washington himself felt very conflicted about slavery despite it being a common and popular practice at the time. I remember he was immediately introduced as a “slave owner” in a biography my class read about him in the 8th grade. While that is a true fact it was also obvious in retrospect the textbook author was trying to poison the well.

Anyway I’m no spring chicken. But I got to imagine this crap must be even 10x worse nowadays.
