Guessing you mean in your post-2001 books, but this comment has me imagining a Black Mirror style thing where there’s this future prediction in everyone’s school books that all the teachers refuse to talk about.
Airport security is by far the most identifiable change for me personally. We never used to take shoes or belts off at airport security, we never walked through backscatter x-ray machines, we could carry liquids onto the plane and you could see your family or friends off at the departure gate even if you didn’t have a boarding pass.
That’s more media than school. But my understanding of it is that it kind of did. Mostly for people who frequent airports and Muslims than anyone else though
Now you kids know what it was like when 9/11 was in every history textbook by 2002.
It was always in our history books but we never talked about it

😂 yeah my bad, I was in kindergarten when it happened. That would be amazing though
Did you know it changed everything? Because that’s what we were told regularly until about 2010 or so when pretty much everyone had stopped buying it.
Except it sort of did though. Life was pretty different in the 90’s compared to the mid 2000’s.
Life was pretty different in the 2000s than it is today. That’s just called time.
It also kind of kicked off the war on terror, and we know that had all kinds of ripple effects for the world at large
It didn’t change everything, but it did change some things. We still take our shoes off to get through airport security, for example.

That’s not exactly a huge societal change.
