One of the silliest issues to happen to this country was its education system's preference for teaching American history over the English. Instead of teaching vital historical lessons from our past, we had one long guilt trip over problems that we were not even involved with. I can't imagine I'm the only one here who had to study civil rights.
I was still in the days where we got to pick interesting topics. I did the history of medicine and the history of Germany 1920-1945 for my two GCSE topics. Both actually interesting topics that are relevant to us. Probably verboten topics now though since they included topics like the folly of trendy experimental medicine (like all the tyranny shit) and the weimar republic giving all the reasons for ww2 beyond "muh holocaust".
I do feel sorry for those that came after me, like Coccxys I got to pick a couple of topics for my GCSE history. I ended up doing The Russian Revolution and The Great War. Not only did they dovetail nicely into each other I also had the advantage of having a history teacher who was getting on years and knew a great deal about how the revolution worked. You'd never get that from a comp school now.
