      It is in the AP US History curriculum under topic 6.7. If you’re taking the AP class, you’ll probably hear about it. If not, it would depend on what your state and local school district wants to teach.

          Yeah, but it would explain why a lot of people may have heard about it in high school, even if they grew up in a conservative part of the country.

          I would expect that Lemmy skews more towards students on the college track than the national average, which is why a collection of anecdotes here may be different than the national average.
