Indifference is an especially strong political statement. Alighieri Dante and Martin Luther King Jr. imagined "the hottest place in hell being reserved for those who in times of moral crisis, maintain neutrality." All attitude and posture is constantly political.
Sure, German children were misled, were told modern Grimm fairy tales to justify and explain Germany's destructive invasions and were told nothing of the suffering the invasions were causing.
Just so are American children taught that their nation was attacked on 9/11 because America is good, does good, and never did anything to anyone anywhere to have provoked attack. (An attack by Arabs unable to defend their people from the great power of the US military, dedicated to suicide just to kill Americans back).....
.
.... told nothing of the half million Iraqi infants and toddlers whose death US Secretary of State Madeline Albright said were "worth the price" of US foreign policy goals,
..... told as little as possible of the 100,000 Iraqis on a desert highway, helplessly shot in the back from the sky as they retreated home from their claimed province of Kuwait, ["its not a number that interests me very much," Gen. Collin Powell, who had been Commander of Operation Desert Storm]......
.... informed of the indescribable suffering deaths of Palestinians as a result of US foreign policy....
..... told nothing of US Presidential Adviser Brzezinski having illegally invited and funded the accused 9/11 planner Saudi Osama bin Laden and his Arab followers into CIA held Persian-speaking Afghanistan, [Zbigniew Brzezinski to Jihadists: Your cause is right! - YouTube] ......

.... nothing of why powerful American investors wanted and still want control of the whole territory of Afghanistan for decisively important and lucrative oil pipelines, denying a war on Iraq for its great oil reserves. [The Deadly Pipeline War: US Afghan Policy Driven By Oil Interests, Jurist, 12/8/2001] http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/forum/forumnew41.php
.... and nothing of President Carter in mid 1979 having had the CIA secretly, criminally, fund. arm and train Islamic fundamentalist hill tribesmen terrorists, who did not want education for their girls and women, to create a civil war against a popular friendly women-liberating socialist Kabul administration (Brzezinski afterwards proudly revealing his intention of drawing in the Soviet military to protect their ally and thereby fall into a Vietnam-like trap), thus initiating a thirty years of death and destruction upon an innocent and very poor Afghan population......[Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser in 'Le Nouvel Observateur' (France), Jan 15-21, 1998 p.76.]

Compare the psyop con game laid on American children by Big Brother networks, and in-school national news magazines today, with the same media incitement for the invasion of Korea, America's first of dozens of US post-WW II wars on third world countries? Notice the similarities between the absurd propaganda during the present decade long heroic War Against Terrorism in Afghanistan as exposed above, and war propaganda during America's first heroic war against communism in Korea as exposed in the following paragraphs.
Here below is what the brain washing corporate commercial media made sure Americans did not know about Korea:
namely what all Koreans know:
1. That there is only one Korea and one Korean people.
2.That US Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Wilson recognized (Wilson officially), Korea as Japanese Territory supporting for business interests a brutal forty year long Japanese occupation. [Teddy Roosevelt's Secret Deal with Japan, History News Network, 12/7/2009]
3.That the US Army did not fight the Japanese in Korea and by the time it entered Korea, Koreans had set already set up nascent political organizations.
