Sure, they teach him that the war happened. But they don't go nearly far enough in teaching the morality (immorality) behind what happened. I think at that young of an age, teachers are almost afraid to go too far in explaining the horrible acts committed.
Which I kind of agree with. I mean, there's no point scaring the shit out of kids who still watch shows like Bobby's World and Recess (though at that age they wouldn't admit it, they're too "cool" for that). It wouldn't do much good to brainwash them from a young age that all of that is wrong. You have to wait until they're old enough to understand what they're being told.
Then, however, you have cynical little shits who think it's all a big joke, and need to be informed otherwise fast, before they get desensitized to the world, and can't feel any pain but their own.
