don’t want their precious sons and daughters to ever think America made mistakes or did bad things!

Erase slavery
Erase internment camps
Erase Hiroshima
Erase that we allowed husbands to beat their wives

The dummification of American students!

It's important to see the ugliness in our past, so that we learn for the future.
