A friend of mine moved to Texas from Pennsylvania in the middle of high school, and due to the differences between the two states' curriculum layout, she ended up having to retake several subjects.
She was utterly flabbergasted at how differently the Civil War was presented in the north vs. the south. And ours was a pretty liberal high school in the middle of a liberal city--certainly no one tried to justify slavery to us the way the Washington Post writer describes experiencing several decades earlier. Nonetheless, from what she told us it was still taught vastly differently in our part of the country.
