Your comment is almost certainly the stupidest thing I have ever read on HN.

I look forward to more insightful comments from you in this vein:

"I'm not sure how I feel about universities (which should be teaching modern history) teaching ancient 27BC stuff like the Roman Empire. Do you really want a new generation of people who think the Roman Empire was perfect and cannot be improved upon?"

I'm sure students would benefit more from MIT running courses such as "7.1729: An Introduction to 23 Not-Invented-Here JavaScript Frameworks" /s

This course isn't a history lesson. That is pretty clear if you read the course overview - https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2021/overview.html

> 23 Not-Invented-Here JavaScript Frameworks

We're talking about operating systems. Do you know the difference between an operating system and a Javascript framework?

So teaching c would be a bad idea? Your argumentation is pretty weak...to say it mildly.

Those who do not learn history will repeat the mistakes. Not sure you want the whole history it history is important.

Btw for politics essence of decision on many historical lesson are still great.
