Plus it would be cool if you could recommend some particular essential non-fiction books that should be taught in schools, or that people should read if they didn’t read them in school.

I feel like “A Diary of Anne Frank” would be the only non-fiction non-textbook books read in high school.
Textbooks are going to digest various sources for history class; it is usually rare that high school history requires reading primary sources.
English is generally going to require reading fiction. There may be persuasive essays like “A Modest Proposal”, but not a whole book because the analysis done in English doesn’t lend itself to non-fiction.
College is usually when more primary sources are assigned for reading.
