It's a subject you probably heard about at least three times in secondary school. If you forgot, look it up. It's like these people who were in the same state-required economics class I had to take in high school who pass around memes about how kids should have to learn about interest and credit cards and checking accounts and taxes and saving for retirement in high school, because they had to learn on their own.

There are 50 states in USA alone, and not everyone here is American
And your point is? Most people will learn about Alexander at some point in their education; you might notice he wasn’t American either. Same for the Roman Empire.
My point is, I didn't have to take an economics class, and probably same for a lot of people.
So what? Do you pass on memes about how there ought to be a required class, as if there weren't one, that you actually were required to take in school?
