It took me a solid decade to unlearn what I learned... and even a decade after that and I am still occasionally surprised by what I still don't have a clue about.
It doesn't help that history is pretty much a lie and the reporting of "current events" isn't much better. I know this from direct experience. The MainStreamNews media is so slanted toward the politically correct that its the next thing to a lie. Oddly enough the absolute best way to lie is to selectively tell the truth in the wrong (or no) context.
