For many years, I worked with private schools to develop history curriculums. The reason for this is that there was a perceived need for a more thorough look at history; something that these schools saw missing from most history text books. One of the large issues that we worked on stressing was the history of Amartica prior to "discovery" by Europeans. We also dealt with some of the atrocities that our country has been involved in such as the WWII interment camps, My Lai, and treatment of immigrants. The reason for such was to raise awareness that the U.S. is fallible, but that doesn't mean we should just quit.
These were just a few issues that were stressed for these schools, but were basically missing from most text books for public schools. Is this a problem? What can be done to solve the problem? Should we teach students about atrocities the U.S has been a part of?
