I remember complaining that my history classes always ended at WWII (after skipping over WWI completely--I had no idea what it was about until I took a class in college). Today they sometimes seem to go to Vietnam at least.

The ending on WWII year after year actually caused me to hate WWII. Don't talk to me about it! It's boring! My father, who's own father fought in WWII, thinks I'm a heathen, but I'm just sick of it. There are so many more interesting history periods. Can we please learn something else? Hell, even in 20th Century America, there is a stuff of cool stuff my history classes never got to that I didn't learn about until college.
