Great article, it's funny I started school in the 50's, high school grad '71. We were taught all those "ugly" things about America then. I hear people saying our history wasn't taught honestly then, but I remember a lot about the negative parts we were taught. We spent a whole year in 3rd grade studying the history of the relationship of our town to the Indians we conquered to live there, the whole bloody mess. That was 1965.

It's like the left suddenly decided nothing had ever been done about racism in 2020, nothing had ever been taught about it, and now protesting young people were going to straighten us all out. I wonder if future history classes will teach about the brutality of the current protest movements and how off base they were. I will be pushing for that.

The truth from a person who has the right perspective and education. We learned about the greatness and atrocities, maybe not in great detail because the volume of historically significant events is massive, but in sufficient detail to understand that our nation has had moral failings, but we are the ones who first overcame them. Well written and spot on.
