It's very interesting to observe how history has been taught in schools in recent years, primarily in what I assume is the Global North, moving away from specific and local approaches, with Americans being the ones who have recently experienced the retarded politicization of their history. Being from a Latix country but having attended private Catholic schools until college, there was a particular focus on Mexican history from the 17th to the early 20th century, with hardly any mention of prehistory or global events, except if they involved Mexico, for example, with Napoleon III and the French intervention. There was a peculiar focus on the political chaos after independence, but it was very superficial: you learned enough if you were interested, but if not, it was simply a matter of trying to pass the final exam and hand in the assignments required. And, from what classmates from public schools have told me in college, it wasn't much different, just less refined. Only now at the university is there a great diversity of topics and approaches to history, and most professors set aside their political leanings because they have no protection here against our version of the progressive mob. Moreover, these mobs can occupy schools and paralyze classes for weeks or months, costing professors their salaries, so they don't usually incite them unless it suits them, and that sometimes backfires.
