I've been saying for years that our educational system is hopelessly hispanophobic. But come to think of it, when I look back to my student days, I really couldn't recall any history teacher of mine who had taught us that Spain committed mass murder in our country, nor that Spain committed slavery, rape, or any of those absurdities that we often encounter in social media these days (such as the one I'm sharing now from CTFU Bulacan 2.0). No textbook, past or present, has ever claimed such things. Also, I have yet to encounter any reputable scholarly material, local or foreign, proving the veracity of the aforementioned absurdities. So now I start to wonder: where and how did all these falsehoods originate? I could only think of Rizal's novels, but they're not historical material; they're fiction. Needless to say, hispanophobia has become so embedded in our culture that it has started to fester and stink, so much that idiotic infographics and memes like the one below are being embraced as gospel truth.
