The point isn't whether you personally were educated, I'm not saying you weren't. (individual you) The point is that not everyone is educated, nor bothers to correct what they were mis-taught. (Or even knows they were mis-taught.) Who discovered America? You know how many answers there are to that one question? But more often kids are taught it's Columbus, end of story.

Anyway, not trying to hijack this further. I don't want to get into "what really happened" and was just trying to express my reasoning for disliking the movie.
Understood, I was just predicting it would turn into a north vs. south thing when it comes to education, and I've never bought that. (What I do buy is good school vs. bad school.)
