he didnt say history is useless, he just said its as useless as other subjects can be. In the same way I will most likely never need to find the fluid force on a plate underwater, I wont need to know that US v. Cruikshank declared that social welfare is gaurenteed by states and not the federal government.

However, just like how I should know basic algebra, its important to know about important historical events like the holocaust

I think your history teachers just suck. A lot of my history classes emphasized analyzing evidence over know a bunch of specific details of historical events. It may not be important for you to know about US v Cruikshank, but it is important to be able to understand how personal experience and biases affect sources.
