Studying history is extremely important for doing your civic duty as a citizen and voting.

This would make sense if they teached recent history, which was at least not part of our curriculum and not to mention even if it was, it would be even more "regulated"

But no, at least in where I lived (Turkey) the history classes are ancient history, then some Turkish civilizations in Anatolia, Ottomans and early Turkey history. Then we have like a 60-70 years of empty space. Is this different for other countries?

So is quantitative thinking, in fact I think it’s more important.
