I don\'t know nowadays) taught crappily at schools. They did a bit more on the Australian civil rights movement when I was at high school in the late 90s. They taught the American and Australian civil rights movement in the same unit. Funnily enough, I remember them teaching us about Rosa Parks, but don\'t remember them saying anything about this person. Whether that\'s because they didn\'t teach us about him or I have crappy memory retention may remain a mystery. It\’s a well known and accepted fact that Australian history was (is?
