You mean just like how we learned about the 1920 pandemic?
Oh right, no we didn't. It was a footnote at best.
Our current lives really aren't all that special you know.
I think this time period in humanity is very special. It really does feel like the make or break of humanity sometimes.
Uh, what? I absolutely was taught about the 1920s pandemic. Not so much about the disease itself or how the pandemic was handled, admittedly, but certainly about how it affected society and the politics of the time. It wasn't a whole unit by itself, but it was definitely more than a footnote.
I guess I was taught it. There was a paragraph in our history text about it. The teacher said a sentence or two on it.
I learned about it.
I did too, but i'm over 40 so I can't say much for current educational systems.

History is written by the victors
History is written by the victors subordinates.

Hmm... children, in the 2050s, in schools, ah to dream.
These last 5 years have just a utter shit show so many people who shouldn't have been allowed near power getting it

I’m from Germany. All the history we get taught is the French revolution (for some unspoken reason), three times, and Nazi Germany. I don’t think that will change.
First, we're not even sure humanity will last until 2050
Second, children will be able to study everything with slides containing memes about our time
