That's fair enough, I just really wanted to see the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial.
Notice where? What exposure are you getting to high school history curricula? How many college classes on twentieth century history have you sat in on? Or does "noticed", here, just mean "assumed, based on what others have told me"?
High school was pretty balanced, my history teacher actually made us learn about Chinese history. In college (and I went to a small Southern college that is one of the more conservative educational institutions) the atrocities of Communist regimes were always downplayed.
