That's not remotely true. American students learn extensively about the dropping of the bombs and their aftermath.

I was gonna say… where is this US denial narrative from? Just stop it.

I remember being shown a documentary with survivors of Hiroshima in high school. It was very graphic. Not only were there interviews, it showed drawings from people who were firsthand witnesses, with the rivers filled with burnt people. This was in a pretty conservative part of the US, too.

So yea, I'd have to agree that the US doesn't try to hide what those bombings did.
