Education is generally a huge let-down when it comes to US History (in America at least). From what I've heard from people older than me it's come a long way, but it still has an incredible bias...it really is just outrageous.
You could say that about a lot of American education. Seemingly more history specific at least is that there are a lot of voices that students just are not hearing anything about. Even more the gap between what students might learn in some of the AP classes and the regular classes is a bit appaling as well.
The end result is that you get a fairly unknowledgable section of the population about history which is bad enough on its own, along with a larger group of people who dont really seem to care, which is probably just as bad if not worse.
