Is this for American teachings? Because we never learned shit about australia

I was pretty lucky in that for Year 11 and 12 (I'm American, but I'm putting it in British terms for convenience), I had a good teacher who had a Master's Degree in history, so he was pretty knowledgeable. It's pretty funny looking back on the regular class I had with him before I took his AP US history class, because he would often say things which I later realized were casually dropping hints that some of the state standards for US history were either not true or only partially true. However, before then, I had some teachers who were less knowledgeable for history courses, and I will post some of my grievances with both their classes, as well as some of the state standards that were taught in the good teacher's class that were later rebuked in his other class:

>Nothing important happened between the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the Italian Renaissance, general Christian Dark Ages myth; only briefly mentioned feudalism in passing, not even the Crusades were mentioned
>The US intervened in WWI because of the sinking of the Lusitania
>The Biblical Exodus was literally true, up to and including potential routes the Israelites could have taken while stranded in the desert for 40 years
>year 6 world history teacher wouldn't teach the unit on the world's religions because it included Hinduism and the Hindus are dumb because they don't eat cows
>The Wehrmacht was a better disciplined, better trained army than the US Army during the Allied invasion of France; the evidence the book presented for this was a picture showing German troops formed in neat columns while the Americans were standing at ease
>Kennedy was a good president and was physically healthy
>Huey Long could have become America's Hitler
>a one paragraph summary of the Eastern Front of World War II that mentioned there was a big battle near Stalingrad
>The British Empire was a superpower in 1776
>Jews were the only victims of Nazi repression; there was literally no mention of non-Jewish victims(cont)

>the british invented the concentration camp

>because one of the history teachers at the middle school (years 5 through 8) was the wife of a prominent baptist minister in town, we were told that women should never be in authority over men and that eating your steak anything but well-done was sinful (not actually in the curriculum, but something the teacher actually said)
>same teacher also said "Buddha was some fat guy that Vietnamese people worship"
>also told us the Pope was the antiChrist
In case you haven't figured it out yet, I went to school in the Bible belt, where the Southern Baptist Convention reigns supreme. This same teacher also taught us, in place of the chapter on the Neolithic, that the Six Day Creation story was literally true, and also taught us about Noah's Ark. To be clear, I don't hate this because it was religious (I myself am religious), I hate it because this teacher was using her class to promote her own religious views.
>America won the War of 1812 thanks to Andrew Jackson
>Stalin killed 60 million people in gas chambers (Stalin killed a lot of people, but nowhere near 60 million, and I don't know of any use of gas chambers)
>Shakespeare's play 'Julius Caesar' is a fully accurate retelling of the events surrounding Caesar's assassination, including "et tu brute" and "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears" speech

That's all I can remember for now.

Spent some years in Australia as a kid. Aussie history goes like this:

>James Cook finds Aussieland and says "fuckin mint, calling this cunt Botany Bay cause my mate loves flowera. Gold rush YEEEAH EUREKA STOCKADE CUNT! And Gallipoli.

>Oh fuck wait, where'd all those brown people fit in?
