The way in which history has been taught by educators, unknowingly, is weaponized in a sense, in order to keep the oppressed within their lane. The curriculum is tailored to be viewed solely from the European-American perspective, with a few scripted glimpses into the history of slaves, native-Americans, and etc, but without the students getting the whole story. Part of the reason that history continues to be taught this way is due to the fear of what may ensue if the TRUTH gets taught to the masses (minorities).
