Considering that the controversy over what should be taught in schools determined the outcome of several recent elections, I think this a topic worth addressing.

How should American history be taught in U.S. schools? Should kids learn about slavery and Jim Crow? Should they be taught about the white people who fought against slavery and for Civil Rights? Should the negative aspects of history be toned down so kids don’t feel guilty?

What should be taught and how should it be taught?
