Holy shit. We have everyone pay ~15% of their wages to health insurance which sure sucks for some if they don't need anything paid (e.g. me, since I was always healthy). But than again that bill would not be such an issue around here.

Absolutely agreed.
My elementary school taught early U.S. history (colonial era, Pilgrims.) Middle school taught ancient history (the Fertile Crescent, ancient Egypt, etc.)
My high school taught one (1) year of world history.
