those things aren't taught in school because that is not school's primary design. just do any research on the history of education in america and the men who set up the prussian based education system that we have and it becomes apparent and clear what school was meant to do. in the words of Ellwood P. Cubberley, "Our schools are ... factories in which the raw products (children) are to be shaped and fashioned .... And it is the business of the school to build its pupils according to the specifications laid down."
btw if you want real history, particularly of america, you need or should read Carroll Quigley's book Tragedy and Hope. If it can be found a first edition printing is by far the best and most accurate, but it is a disturbing read regardless.
