Apparently they're teaching gradeschoolers that George W. Bush went into Iraq because of 9/11.

(The Iraq war had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.)

Also the CIA torture program had nothing to do with gathering intelligence. But that came out when Trump was pro-extra-torture, and his fans loved him for it.

7th grade math class the TV in the classroom actually got turned on and we watched the towers burn.

I was too young to really understand the politics behind the war but as it progressed it became clear how much BS it was.
