This is probably because in school you need all these intricate, factually accurate details.

If you can pick and choose which things you actually find interesting it becomes way easier

I think that's part of it. The other part is that primary school teachers have to teach to the curriculum and not what they want. So if they want to teach about how whites got preferential treatment but the county school board says "No CrItIcAl RaCe ThEoRy!1", they can't teach it.

My college history professors were far more engaging. Especially my military history professor.
