Our Children deserve an unvarnished version of history including those disadvantaged populations (Native Americans and those enslaved for profit) instead of the curated version currently advocated and taught. Hiding the country's faults and missteps does not allow a basis for learning from the actual past so we may learn from all of our mistakes. The teaching of partial history satisfies those who are embarrassed by participation in the history that has guided America for a couple of centuries.
