    No saying is a universal law, that’s not really the point of those phrases. “How history is taught is heavily influenced by those in power” is just not as catchy. I think you’re taking it too literally.

      I’m pointing this out to people and they’re saying no it’s 100% a universal law. I’m aware the quote likely wasn’t originally meant that way.
