I'm not saying that noone needs to learn about it, I'm saying that not everyone has to learn about it.
WW2 was probably a bad example as it's recent and just about still relevant.

Sure. In an ideal world the education system would be different for everyone. But that's not realistic.
Some people want to be educated about a range of subjects, some people would be better off learning simply how to get a job...
