I think most students don't get taught about the US occupation of the Philippines at all. I think that at most 1/3 of americans know that it used to be our colony
The worst part for me, besides actually writing in favor of the occupation because I didn't know any better, was that we did dedicate time to the idea of America as a colonial empire. We were never taught what that actually meant though. It was entirely detached from any actions or consequences, as if it were just a label fixed on to it.
