With all due respect, you are simply wrong. History is a subset of social studies just the same as Algebra is a subset of mathematics. I should know, as I taught social studies, history, world history, economics, government and geography, all of which are social studies. I also taught Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus as well as middle school math from 6th to 8th grade, all of which are mathematics.social studies is not history or rather it does not teach history it teaches crap feely good garbage and no specifics. when I went to school we had state history in middle school and US and world History in High school now they have bull shit social studies with no specifics about anything and all about how people felt.Gunny. you do realize that history is a type of social studies, right? You can't dumb it down to a simply broader category.Fuck you I don't know when you went to school but in the 60's and 70's I was taught IN SCHOOL about the Indian wars and the maltreatment applied to them I was taught about slavery and the poor treatment minorities received after the war was over and Jim crow occurred. So fuck off if you are younger then that and dems dumb downed history to social studies.America has never been honest about their history and they have yet to reckon with that.America history has Genocide, Enslavement, and much more horrible things in it but let me ask you would you prefer to live here or Iran?
Mexico has a horrible history, and so does Canada and all of the World, so America past is not unusual when you look at it against the rest of the World!
