The biggest lie we still teach in American history classes

"One of my favorite writers, Gore Vidal, once described his country as
the United States of Amnesia. “We learn nothing because we remember
nothing,” he wrote."

The desire to teach a triumphalist history-as-progress exists here in
Australia also.  Via Kerry Amburgy-Dickson (Kalex).
