Yeah. The American History class sort of peetered out around the election of FDR, and then WWII was sort of mentioned in passing; the teacher alluded to the Holocaust but managed to get through the experience without mentioning Jews at any point.

He may have been the greatest troll I've ever encountered, and witnessing that had profoundly informed my understanding of the American people.)
