A funny requirement to graduate in the United States is having to take United States history in high school. That's not the same in Canada is it?

Makes perfect sense to me, the past guides the future. So why not understand the past so you can excel in the future (ie: capitalism)?

I think most people bitch about it just because they thing it's boring, which I can sort of agree but there is some sort of a purpose for it.

Don't get me wrong... I like the requirement and I'm a big fan of knowing your history. But it wouldn't make sense for Canada to learn US history.
