    The moon landing wouldn’t be up there in red states.

    Of course it would. It is one of the few actually valid examples of American exceptionalism which nationalists absolutely require as the underpinnings to their myopic ethos. In addition to teaching the history of this wonderful achievement, it will also be taught how these events never actually took place to support their claims the government actively lies to the American people requiring action for citizens to “take back” the country. Questions for both viewpoints will be on the midterm, so remember to study.

    If you’re wondering how these two contradictory ideas can be taught in the same classroom, then remember in MAGA school the class taught immediately prior to history is “Learning to live with Cognitive Dissonance”.
