Til that England is named after a Nordic tribe.

That's what they spend time making sure we learn for 12 years straight.

Peanut Butter.

Slavery.

Rosa Parks.

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Europe? No idea

You can't fool me, I saw the American Dad episode where they revealed it was Mary Todd Lincoln and not George Washington Carver.

Used to think that they were from germany until saw a map of migration period where original location of those tribes were located...

Angles, Jutes and most of Saxons were from Denmark/Nordic region. That's why they were stereotypically portraids as boond hairs blue eyed alphas.

'Non Angli, sed angeli, si forent Christiani.' – "They are not Angles, but angels, if they were Christian". Aphorism, summarising words reported to have been spoken by Pope Gregory I when he first encountered pale-skinned English boys at a slave market, sparking his dispatch of St. Augustine of Canterbury to England to convert the English, according to Bede.

He said: "Well named, for they have angelic faces and ought to be co-heirs with the angels in heaven."

Discovering that their province was Deira (an Anglo Saxon Kingdom in England,) he went on to add that they would be rescued de ira, "from the wrath".

^ America needs to rebuild its entire education system from the ground up,

That does surprise me as Old Frisian is one of English' parent languages.

Yeah we don't care about that, don't know why. The narrative is simpler when it's 'the Anglos and Saxons came here and we got named after the less relevant of the two.' People barely remember the Jutes.

I remember reading that the UK used to have a good education under the Tripartite System but then they just had to wreck it.

You have no idea just how stupid our system actually works

I know it seems to be quite bad. I wonder how and why America's education system actually collapsed ?

[Westbrook]

Here's a hint, much of the curriculum is determined by textbook manufacturers based on what the largest states want to go in the books

Ah yes. I get it. A lot of local corruption then.

he's wrong about Germany but most people outside your country and I guess NW Germany/S. Jutland have never even heard of the Frisians.

I'd heard of the Frisians as I remember that I became intrigued in wanting to learn more about the Frisians while I was a teen in my secondary school. My schoolteachers never taught us anything about the Frisians at school, but I remember reading-up a bit about the Frisians at home as I was very curious about them.

I remember being taught about Anglo Saxons in my first school year in my Church of England primary school in Kent. We were also taken on school day trips to learn about and explore inside the historic local castles there... and we went on another school outing another time to look at the historic scene of the Battle of Hastings.

My junior school in Dorset mostly taught us about the Tudors during history lessons.... and in my senior/secondary school, we learned a lot about Native Amerindian cultures and American history.
