You stated exactly what I have thought for many years.  Kids today are absolutely taught that history started at the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965. I think the problem is compounded as time moves along because the "taught are now the teachers".  Today's teachers have no clue about history and can't teach it if they wanted to.  I took some graduate courses in political science and history years ago and learned absolutely nothing.  The students were there because they had to show an effort to earn a MS to keep their teaching jobs, and they were pathetic.
