It's mostly because in public school we are told a very white washed history that is largely told from the view of the white males. The histories of the other groups are mention but not really developed. For example, large parts of the civil rights movements of the past few decades get only a few sentences or are ignore completely. When I went to school in the 90s and early 2000s, we didn't talk about the Mexican civil rights movement and the LGBT civil rights movement at all, for examples.

I'm inclined to think it happens because it can offend religious beliefs (the LGBT part) - And in public school secularism is expected.

I remember seeing a video from the1janitor complaining about black history not being mentioned so often as white history. Obviously black americans (I'm sorry but I dislike the term "african-americans" because not every black is equally african) are a part of american history and culture. He talked about some famous lawyer that won a lot of important cases and was black. And of course, the president is black as well.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
