I don't recall really learning much "scandalous" material in high school (or in my college World History classes, for that matter,) but my American History professor was pretty liberal and we used a textbook called A People's History of the United States, which basically included all the completely douchebaggy things the government has done over the course of the country's history that nobody ever told you about before.
