Not a meme but…

These “American schools teach America did nothing wrong” and “British schools teach the Empire was good in every way” things have to stop. American schools drill it into your head that America has past filled with racism, sexism, atrocities, and war-mongering. i.e. Spanish-American/War of Mexican Succession. I can’t speak first-hand for British people, but I have British friends and they all say they were never taught to love the Empire’s atrocities. I’d be willing to let this go if we were on r/dankmemes but this is a subreddit that tries to be historically accurate most of the time, or at least should be, and this A: isn’t history, it’s a meme about American/British schools, B: just flat-out wrong.​TL;DR America and Britain both frequently teach their students about mistakes and atrocities the countries have done. via /r/HistoryMemes http://bit.ly/2PJDiMd
