31. Guess what? High schools can't cover every. bit. of. world. history.

That's why there are actual History Departments in UNIVERSITIES.

Like, how many Great Books did you read in your h.s. English classes? As many as ever have been written? Dramas? How about Greek tragedies? Philosophy? Law?

Jeez. And you never even mentioned the "Return of Quetzalcoatl" on the very day that Cortez landed. THAT was the basis for the Spanish Conquest of Mexico.

And your claim of what "liberals reject" is, shall we say, complete balderdash.
