  Late nineties Midwest public school: barely talked about, Henry Ford given credit for the 5 day work week. The many atrocities were never mentioned.

    Early 1990s and my boarding school taught it but not the public school.

  In school? Almost nothing. We learned a little bit about the passing of the Fair Labor Standards Act as “part of the new deal” but like the gun battles fought at mines, railroads etc… not a peep.

  I actually got a somewhat decent education on it. Learned about unionization, the fight for weekends, battle of Blair Mountain, and the teacher even played “Solidarity Forever” in class.

  I fully recognize my experience isn’t standard, though.
