I expect the answer varies depending on both the era the person answering it (or thier child) went to school and what part of the state it was. For an example, my ddw (born in '64) went through the Boulder, Colorado schools her entire life and had never heard of the Sand Creek Massacre ("kill them all, nits make lice" - Col. Chivington, Co state milita.) When I happended to mention it in conversation, she just gave me a blank look. Don't know if it's covered *now* but I'm sure it wasn't in the 60's and 70's!
