An example of historical relativism: This photo of King Abdulaziz (the first king of KSA) with FDR is can be found inside the American Consulate in Dhahran and is also a part of the history curriculum in public schools in the Kingdom.
My question to American Education is, "Why does FDR, when learned in history class, have such strong connotations with WWII and Depression-era domestic policies? How can such a monumental meeting of two world leaders between two countries with such strong ties go unmentioned?"
