National shame is compulsory in the classroom
(This is about an English poll, but I'm sure it's the same in the US.)

According to a YouGov poll for the BBC, 55 per cent of England’s younger generation (aged 18-24) are not proud of their English national identity. Ten per cent even admit to being embarrassed by it.. This week BBC TV News is exploring the whole question of English identity, making it the latest salvo of its anti-Brexit campaign. National identities, especially the English version, are at best eccentric and, at worst, a dying irrelevance in the supranational twenty-first century..

What it signifies is a knowledge deficit consequent on a delinquent education system. Its casualties are those who leave school knowing little, if anything, about their national identity. And the little they do know focuses on the shame, not the pain and struggle, of our past. Ignorance is now enshrined in law by a history national curriculum that makes entirely optional any specific landmark event or personality from English or, indeed, from British history..
