I have a teenage stepdaughter. Since 3rd grade, probably 35% of her history and literature curriculum has been focused on slavery, native American oppression, and the civil rights movement. Another 10% has been the holocaust. I swear they have devoted at least 2-3 weeks of every school year to the holocaust since she was in 5th grade.

IMO, public school history/literature education is lacking these days because they spend way *too much* of their time on Oppression Studies.

This was my experience growing up too. As a kid I was excited to learn about WW1 and WW2 in history.

I was immensely disappointed when we spent a total of maybe 1 month across my entire K-12 education combined on these. And half of that time was reading stories about Japanese internment camps, and the rest was arguing about dropping the bomb on Hiroshima. I was the only one who argued "yes", everyone else was "no", and you knew where the teacher stood.

Nothing about battles/victories/strategy, setbacks, heroism, soldiers or generals, or anything that gave you a sense of why it started, and how it developed.

Didn't even talk about the Holocaust either; only one English teacher had Maus in her high school classroom, which I read while they rambled on about The Great Gatsby. Everything I learned about the Holocaust and the rest of world history came from outside school.
