I guarantee you don't remember everything you were taught in school considering how much information you seem ignorant of that I would expect most high school graduates to know.
Most importantly, and I know this will be hard for you to understand, but
just because it wasn't taught to you doesn't mean it isn't taught to nearly everyone else. If you studied Western Civilization without anyone mentioning Christianity, then you doubt had horrible teachers and it explains a lot about you. That being said, I challenge you to find present evidence of a high school western civilization history book that doesn't mention Christianity. Better yet, what are the names and authors of the history books you used? Obviously it will be easy to answer since you claim to remember everything from high school. Once you identify the books, I bet we can find info about it online and see if you're right.

And 1 million copies basically confirms that this is not taught in a lot of schools.
No, it doesn't. Only a select number of students use a textbook at one time. I rarely had new books as a student. Books are used for multiple students.
All of which is moot, since I posted a link to another article that listed multiple US high school history books that directly taught religion.

Wow. Are you surprised that your school didn't mention all the textbooks they weren't using and outline their contents? Would you be surprised to know that there are books out there that you don't know about? More importantly, the mere fact that you don't know about them doesn't mean that they don't exist or aren't be read by others. Hard to believe yet its true.
Again- since you remember everything from high school, it'll be no problem to list a few of your western civilization history books. Then we can all see if they mentioned Jesus or not.
