Does the English system teach them about all the rape and pillaging their empire did?

Yes. It does. We have a national curriculum that includes the negative aspects of the British Empire. National curriculums are awesome, you should try it one day.

Considering the US is actively trying to reframe their atrocities as positives or flat out trying to write them out of history, probably not the best take

Why is it a bad take? Nobody here is defending America over England. They’re both monsters, they’re both of the same cloth.

Assuming a us viewpoint, it’s akin to a serial killer telling a petty thief how despicable they are for stealing.

Not a perfect metaphor with England’s past but considering they’re actively trying to educate on and make up for the atrocities they’ve committed, it serves to illustrate the point.
