“communist countries have propaganda everywhere!!” meanwhile in the us there’s an american flag within every square mile, kids pledge their allegiance to that flag every day at school, and the us military attempts to recruit people before theyve reached the age of 13

i told my dad about the pledge of allegiance and he said this sort of shit wouldn’t fly even at his old school and he did kinda grow up in communist poland so like

and in texas we have a SECOND pledge we have to say every morning because we also need to pledge to the flag of texas (just in case we secede again) 

wait what the fuck texas

Texas for the win ever got damn time

And we have TEXAS history we have to learn.

Do you know how many weird looks I got when I moved to Connecticut from Texas and asked them what year they took Connecticut history…

And then trying to explain why we had to take Texas history and realizing I had absolutely no idea.

Uh, I remember taking the Indiana History class in elementary school. Is that not a thing in each state?

super scientific poll time:

What state did you go to school in & did you take a state history class?

If your outside the US- feel free to join in with whatever your equivalent would happen to be..

I definitely had to learn Michigan history in school, though it wasn’t a separate class, just a couple weeks out of US history.

Tennessee History, 8th Grade

California history was like 4th grade. And some of 3rd

North Carolina, yup history in 4th grade. We all had to make powerpoints and do tons of other bullshit. I hate this state with a passion.

Missouri…I know they did when my mom was in school…but the most I had to do was a short unit one year in elementary school and some Missouri-specific facts during the Civil War unit. They were surprisingly good at reminding us we’d been a slave state. 

Kansas. 7th grade history was Kansas History.

I think 8th grade was supposed to be Arizona history but the accelerated classes skipped it for some reason? We might have gotten a day or two in social studies.

My district was kind of terrible about history, though. The first time I learned about the Civil War was when I took the textbook home and read that shit myself, because I’d heard rumors that some things went down after the Revolution but my history lessons never got that far.

Massachusetts, but a big amount of American history involves our state history too, so I don’t remember ever really having separate time spent on it.

Texas History (7th grade, btw) kind of ignores the rest of America and assumes nothing important happened until we arrived, fresh from Mexico. Then left again. Then came back. And have been talking about leaving again ever since. Texas is like a bad ex.

tEXas

I went to school in Maryland, and as far as I can remember, we didn’t have a state history class.

But holy SHIT Texas. What happened?

(also: obligatory @mokia tag on a texas post)

Connecticut and we definitely learned about Connecticut history but mostly American revolution history/Colonial America that sorta thing. It wasn’t a separate class though just integrated into our regular US History class.

Alabama history. 4th grade. Totally different textbook and everything.

^ what he said. And I knew it was absolutely ridiculous then

I think the was Florida history, but IIRC, it was an elective (that I never took).

Massachusetts, but since the Revolution kind of started her I’m not sure if you’d count as Massachusetts History or just plain ol’ US history

I live in New York and we specifically learned NY history in fourth grade, if I recall correctly.

Michigan and we learned Michigan history in 4th grade which was actually quite helpful

Michigan, 4th grade!

Virginia, and we basically never stopped learning about Va history. The whole first surviving British colony thing gave us bragging rights or whatever.

New York.

I never took NY history. At all. 

I did take Long Island history, however.

i took a two month long Oregon trail/oregon history unit in fourth grade, and we dabbled in Oregon history here and there (usually every valentines day, great date of establishment, Oregon). But other than that so far ive had nothing substantial that didnt require me to dress up in a silly outfit to go to school for a whole month, Oregon train simulation, anyone? I cant speak past halfway through ninth grade though.

Indiana, and we had Indiana history one day a week in fourth grade (fifth grade in the same slot was basic econ/how to balance a checkbook type stuff).

New Hampshire, and this was a fairly major thing in fourth grade.

Maryland. We didn’t have one, but we should. ‘Merica. I’d also like to point out that the kids near the top of this post have not been sent to Kolyma.

Pennsylvania (Philly suburbs), there was Benjamin Franklin and William Penn and the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall but that’s hard to disentangle from bog-standard colonial/revolutionary history
