I never saw any courses on taxes or human rights but I admit alot of what he says is nonsensical(who needs math we has calculator lol). He does have a point on not learning about economics however. Sure, I took micro and macro economics courses in high school but we really only learned about supply and demand, how to manage a checkbook and how to get to space in Sim City(my end of the year project, lol). What we didn't learn about was cyclical consumption, the business cycle or even some basic statistics on the disparity of wealth on a global scale.
Also our public school system in the USA failed to teach about the Irish slave trade during the 1600s and how it occurred before Africans entered the slave trade at all or how Irish slaves were treated more harshly then their African counterparts because they only cost around 5 shilling compared to the 50 shilling African slave, so they weren't considered as valuable. Instead we learn solely about the African slave trade and we're taught that it took place purely because of racism when that's simply not true. The monetary system led to the slave trade of all races, including the Chinese who worked the railroads of western USA.
