Textbooks made me idolize people who didn't deserver to be idolized. All the good things about most people in a school textbook aren't entirely accurate.
Ahem, Christopher Columbus <_<
Like how he let his men rape and kill the Bahamian people.

I get up at 5:30 everyday and leave for school at 7 because I have to walk, so don't complain.

it takes you 1 hour and 30 minutes to do all your morning stuff? :o
 
I also hate how they only talk about explorers of a Caucasian background..how many of you actually know who Ghengis Khan is?

Thank God I go to a Christian private school.
I lol'd.

You think that a Christian school isn't going to be biased?
I'm just saying that I get good food. Our history books aren't christian though, they slam it into the ground.

No, not really. There's stuff I like to do before school, like the homework I haven't done.

But he didn't go across the Roman Empire, he stopped right at it.
what no? the Mongols attacked the roman empire, which contributed to its downfall. Mongol attacks forced Germanic ppl to flee inside the empire, then they started attacking as well.

Many American heroes are corrupt in some ways, they hide so much from us.
Public school teaches people (and taught me) to worship presidents like Lincoln, FDR, and even the scumbag Wilson. I now know better... these men were monsters!

Genghis Khan's children =/= him.

There were also a lot more important causes to the downfall.

The more important causes are political corruption, economic problems, and a series of poor leaders.

true, but mostly was that Western Roman empire never had as good of a military as before, patriotism declined cuz of mercenaries being hired. The Romans never faced as big of an attack as from the Mongols, which mostly contributed to its fall, more than the internal problems.
