American schools teach history in a way that makes the U.S always seem like the "good guy". Students are taught that the US defends nations in need all over the world without self-interest being a factor. Our policies are supposed to defend human rights and spread democracy to countries without stable governments. An example of this is Americas involvement in Libya in 2011. Muammar Gaddafi was in power for decades and when Libya was at war with its ruler, the US felt in was its duty to step in and defend Libyans civilians. Our president appeared on television with a speech that described how wrong it was for the American government to sit back and watch innocent people die when there was so much we could do to help. This was the presidents argument for involvement, it had nothing to do with the fact that Libya is the fifth largest oil reserve in the world...
