It is great to find that you support teaching real history, not white washed history. And that having children learn that there are some ugly facts in life, like loosing a soccer game or that white people systematically enslaved, raped, lynched and impoverished non-whites as a founding principle of this nation needs to be taught even if it makes a white person feel the sads.
