Just give our youth the truth, no spin, no bias. Just go back to teaching history through the lens of global standards of the particular time in history and it shows the US is nearly always ahead of that curve and still is.
Slavery? Most of the world was using slavery still when we abolished it. A lot of the world STILL uses slavery.
Womens rights, minority rights, disabled rights, homosexual rights, all have the same story! Its this whole idea that somehow we are not meeting a higher standard that is such bullshit, because we are! The sheeple have been led to believe America is some bad place when the reality is it offers the most freedom and opportunity to anyone who wants to put in the work and take it through the proper and fair channels that are in place. These practices are in place to make sure this freedom and opportunity are here to stay for eternity to make the world a better place. The mere idea of America has done more for the global community than any other idea in the history of the world, CHANGE MY MIND, I DARE YA!!
If they did teach the whole truth, then it would be patriotic education. But they don't, they cherry-pick facts, or outright twist things around to make America look bad at every opportunity. That's why there are kids that don't think this is a great country, or think socialism/communism is a better system.
