Be as sarcastic as you like, but I'm grateful for my education. We thoroughly covered these types of topics from elementary through high school. These, and many other topics, gave me a small window into other cultures that left me wanting to learn more. It gave me an open minded curiosity about people who were different from me, even though the area was about as homogeneous as it gets. It made me excited for opportunities to go out in new communities and talk to people from different backgrounds.

I find now that I'm older that this type of genuine curiosity about other people pays off in a number of ways. I'm sorry that you don't seem to have had a similar experience.

I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I figured you were young. They cover this stuff in schools now. When I was a kid 150 years ago they did not teach this stuff at all.
