There are plenty of photographs of stuff we did against the natives, sure. I don’t believe for two seconds that the average high school educated American has ever seen them. We don’t go out of our way to teach that shit.

That is certainly probable. I wouldn’t expect the highschools in IN to have a particularly progressive curriculum
