Teach it, warts and all, and let the kids see where our leaders went wrong in the past.
Having said that, looking at the present state of the world, most of todays world leaders, all flunked their history exams!

I agree with you . Sanitized history isn't history, it is fiction.
Pick any in time in history and any culture and you will find thoughts, deeds and conditions that would be considered unacceptable in today's world. Even in today's world we can find much that needs fixing, and not just here.
