    Learning about USA history in high school radicalised me.

    As you said, manifest destiny was just the same old colonialism they claimed to oppose, just with a religious excuse.

      The US education system does teach US history and critical thinking, but applying it to itself is another thing entirely. The means are still there, so it’s no coincidence that there has been a movement to shaft the US education system an promote things like homeschooling.
