Everything I wanted to know about Islam I learned on 9-11....

[Barnslayer]

mongo and everything I wanted to know about W Bush I learned soon after.

Depends. Are they going to include ALL the details? Like how despite Saudi hijackers, there were Saudi dignitaries allowed to leave the country despite all other flights being grounded? George Bush was having lunch with Osama Bin Ladens brother the day before? Building 7 dropping at free fall speed, despite not being hit? The pentagon claiming they misplaced several trillion dollars, the day before a jet crashed into the office where that info was kept, and all nearby CCTV footage disappearing?

And ofc the Dancing ...

And I'll add one to that list. Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell should be required reading in High School.

[Barnslayer]

Sowell is an under appreciated national treasure.

Personally, I feel there’s already to much propaganda
/indoctrination taught in public schools to even touch the 0/11 topic How about teaching them a trade or at least balance a check book or how to maintain good credit and apply for a mortgage along with how and why to keep money in their pockets instead of spending. Frivolously.Now a days should also include paying a traffic citation the list is endless.

100% i was lucky enough to have a college professor make this the textbook for the class.

I don't think the OP is seeking the vitriol that this topic could engender. I am curious though: What are the lessons to be learned from the 9/11 attacks?

The lessons to be learned is one thing. I'm more concerned with what the powers that be decide to include or exclude from such a course.
Given past Dept of Ed and various school board behavior of late.... it would be a mistake to give them carte blanche on this subject.

I was in 1st grade on 9/11. Despite my age I remember everything about that day crystal clearly. With that being said, all throughout school until high school graduation, history class barely made it past WWII. In AP US History we barely, and I mean barely, touched on Vietnam. Never got any further than that. Even as a youngster, I always thought it was odd that we spent so much time learning about ancient civilizations and very little time learning about the last 100 years or so in our own country.
