I would love to connect sometime if you’re interested. I do some comparison of retail groups in the hardware channel. If interested DM me and we could compare notes sometime.

Their EBITA is remarkably close to a lot of independent hardware stores, but for all different reasons, I’m sure.

Here is the data on Tulsa. I did this a while back. It was 50/50 which is much better than Georgia, but it makes sense. Tulsa is one of, if not the most, infamous massacres of black folks in American history. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1182f8q/oc_i_asked_georgians_us_if_they_learned_in_school/j9f82x4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

Incidentally, I grew up in a city right next to Tulsa, and didn't learn about the Tulsa Race Massacre until I was an adult. Also what I did learn at first was wrong, because it was told to me by someone of an older generation and nobody wants to be the bad guy of their own story. So I believe your math is probably accurate.

There was some post about "The REAL history of Mexico" that made the rounds including things raging from basic facts to falsehoods like "The Mayans never actually sacrificed anyone" pair with question about why we were not taught this in school.

Right, it was a mile or so to the headwaters of the creeks, and then all downhill from there. Back yard: Lullwater Creek>Peavine Creek>Peachtree Creek>Chattahoochee River>Apalachicola River>Gulf of Mexico
Across the street: Sugar Creek>South River>Ocmulgee River>Altamaha River>Atlantic Ocean

It’s weird that you have had multiple times on social media where friends said “why weren’t we taught...” I’ve not experienced that before.

Anyway, it’s not on the curriculum, per a teacher who is also on the thread I link to.

The question is really "Do you remember being taught in school about the 1912 racial cleansing in Forsyth County (GA)?"

Multiple times I look at former classmate's twitter or instagram asking "Why weren't we taught ___?!?!?!?" and had to remind them they were and we were in the same class, you just didn't pay attention.
