To be fair, as the country ages there will be more and more history to cram into those books, so even if Social/American Studies and History classes don't literally shrink they undoubtedly will relative to the time necessary to cover everything worth covering. Even when I was in school (a full decade ago) the subject was a bit rushed and I don't recall even touching on the last century on more than a few key points.
This is the nature of time. The more of it that marches on, the less we have to focus on any given moment.
