History should actually be taught in the opposite way ... from the perspective of the dominant culture of a society.  Now, that does NOT mean sugar coating it or hush-hushing a nation's bad deeds.  Germans can be taught about the Holocaust from the perspective of how it is relevant to the German nation and the German ethnic group (without spending 3/4 of the "lesson" on the history of the Jewish or Romani people or something) without minimizing how horrible it was, and Americans can learn about slavery from an American perspective (without spending 3/4 of the lesson learning about the Bantu societies and cultures from which slaves were largely taken) while still acknowledging it as a stain on our nation's history.

To teach history from a perspective other than your nation's is ... quite strange.
