Yeah, no, that's an insane claim to make. Obviously American education covers some information about religion in history classes, but that level of detail about catholic history is not normal curriculum for elementary, middle, or high school.

Can confirm - I had an excellent, Christian School education through Middle School, and even we didn't hear about that.

In France History is a very big part of the curriculum (almost a quarter of the time until you get to high school) and this episode is barely mentioned despite happening in our very country.

I am not talking about what American education covers nor the average American. But what people with an interest in History, who are reading history books, watching history documentaries, etc. would know. Avignon is not that deep.

You literally started: "Any middle schooler...", and now you claim you aren't discussing education?

[ecshafer]

Read the next 4 words past that. Middle schooler refers to an age group as well.
