Everybody was absolutely terrified during this period. At least 600 000 people were killed and over one million people were deported to Gulags in Siberia.
That’s interesting. I don’t recall hearing a word about Stalin in school. I knew he was a bad guy for some reason, but chalked it up to typical Commie hating. It wasn’t until I was out of school, and cultivated an interest in history, that I read more about him, and learned that he and Hitler seemed to be having a competition to be the worst guy ever.
You can probably blame the difference in there being 50 different public school curriculums, for some reason. Some states get a different education than others, and I suspect that one of the biggest differences is history. 2+2=4, CAT spells cat, in every state in America, so why do we have 50 different curriculums, many specifically created by Treasonous Pedophiles to groom and indoctrinate children into their cults? Education should be Federal, and the Federal government should create a comprehensive curriculum, and the MAGAs will have to go along with it, or they can just homeschool their kids to be morons.
