Yes, and in hindsight, it’s pretty disgusting stuff.
Especially considering everything they withheld from me about our history, trying to tell me it was the plague that killed off native people, when in fact it was slavery, war, murder, and torture. Or the times when white mobs destroyed black towns, such as in Tulsa. Or the time when cops and soldiers bombed labor agitators trying to get better working conditions. Or, my favorite, the battle for Blair Mountain.
It’s 100% indoctrination, and I’m glad I like to read history books as an adult or I’d have no idea.
