American schools are day care centers that occasionally give lessons on specifically the civil war and world war 2. The actual mechanics of these wars is out of scope, the only reason they are brought up at all is to tell you how awful and evil and terrible the other side was.
Every day another video comes out where a middle or high school teacher says "70% of the students in my classes are unable to recite the alphabet or add two single digit numbers"
They also report that a good half of kids become feral and violent during network instability and they are unable to watch dancey videos.
The students are passed to the next grade because being held back results in complaints from parents.
