this is false. I am always moving toward the future, regardless of whether I know about the past. please state what you mean more clearly instead of using vague platitudes.

And when you make the same mistakes youve made in the past and get no where, youll know why. Also, it could be youre not important enough. We making breakthroughs or new scientific discoveries, people need to know the past. They need to know whats been tried or looked at already. You can say you discovered something new all you want, but history may show it was already discovered. So, while you may not need the past to move forward, most of the world does.

do you have any evidence that this is useful. anyone can use history selectively to prove any point they want. just look at how communism is demonized in the west for example.

You can. And you can see what worked out and what didnt in the short and long term. Its very useful to understand what happens when you do something, and why it happened. Ots kind of like science in that way. Basically, it can show you why countries have fallen or failed even though the what you want to do seems like a good idea. Again, maybe not important to you. But youre also just a child who has no say over anything. To someone in a position of power, understanding the mistakes of the past is usually good knowledge...

appeal to authority

More like listening to authority. They have to learn those subjects. And somehow, they decided that those subjects were the ones that were important to learn. Just because you dont think so means nothing to anyone. People who am experts on the matter (as much as any can be) have decided what people need to learn in school to grow up to function as an adult. Or what people should be learning...

you're just restating your claim. why do you do this so much? just make arguments for it instead of saying it again.

I dont get what youre saying, but whatever...

I think it's perfectly acceptable to teach history in school or to not teach history in school. I have no preference one way or the other. you seem to have a strong preference that history is taught in school so im trying to understand why

Because it was decided that its important by experts. And as I said, you need to know the past and learn from it. One reason is to not make the same mistakes. And for us to grow as a nation. And so far, it seems to be working out... If you have no preference, then why do you sound so against it?
