Never forget? In some states it's downright illegal to teach kids that complex, sophisticated and civilized societies existed here before white people showed up.
I've been reading 1491 by Charles C Mann and telling my 14yo a lot of what I've been learning, it's a fascinating book. We live in the rural southern Appalachians and I know for damn sure those teachers aren't including nuance with their history.
