Ok, what schools are these people talkin' about? I don't remember being taught only about America's failings and flaws, just the opposite in fact. But hey, if they're serious about balance in teaching our history, I'm all for it. As long as their idea of balance isn't: Sure 10,000 innocent people died but we meant well so it all balances out. I'm also for them teaching more history than math, using more materials than the outdated & often erroneous textbooks and screening documentaries that allow the student to feel the history more. They shouldn't be afraid of showing the horrors of history; all of them. I do agree that some of our freedoms aren't emphasized enough which is why people don't seem to care when they're threatened. And I think the importance and privilege of voting should be drilled into every child's head from very early on. But that's just one girl's opinion...

Report says schools are unfair to America
