They really juat don't teach labor history here at all. Nothing about armed standoff between Union members and armed "security," nothing about the beatings, and certainly nothing that might give anyone ideas on how to deal with rich assholes who think they're above consequences. 🤷‍♂️

I was fortunate to go to a Quaker high school, and there was a screening of "Harlan County USA" for the student body.

The fact that in the US I didn't learn about the labor dispute that the international labor day commemorates, even though it happened in the US, and the fact that we don't celebrate that labor day really gives away the game imo

We learned all about strike-breakers, Pinkertons, labor and capital assassinations, and the like. But then, Zinn was part of my HS history curriculum.
