I guess I didnt ask the right question...
This is interesting, but I should have been more clear. I am not asking if you touched on it in school. What I am asking is if you had a year of history (or a semester) solely dedicated to the historical study of your state. The class was known as Oregon History, etc. As in, "8th grade history is only Wyoming History."
I imagine everyone touched on their state history, regardless of where you grew up. Knowing you studied it dosent really answer the question. Was there a year or semester of a class called (Fill in the blank with your state name here) History?
This helps answer the question, which is what states require their students to take a class just on the state history. I wonder this because as you all know, Texans are in love with themselves. I knwo there are numerous reasons, but can one factor be the marketing we do to our own kids growing up in 7th grade with the compulsary class? So do states with somewhat less exciting history require a class in their history? Is there enough content to have a whole class?
