I wish our schools did a better job teaching about resistance movements. Here in the US most people don’t know about the Battle of Blair Mountain, for example, even though it was the largest armed resistance action here since the US Civil War.

But if you know what the BoBM is, you know why it isn’t taught, for the same reason churches don’t teach what the Bible says about usury.
