Thisis a baseless claim. Personal experience doesn't count.

The overwhelming majority of history education leaves out inconvenient truth of vile and anti democratic acts committed in the name of American Capital interests.

Actually, the overwhelming impression I have of the "US history" in the minds of young people, is summed up by that very sentence. However, real history is always nuanced and complex. I certainly wouldn't disagree that bad things have happened in the name of US power. However, the actual history isn't that one-sided.

And often, it's that one-sided skew which is then used to justify throwing out principles like due process and innocent until proven guilty.
