How should the US history be teached in shcools and college ?

I read this on Facebook.

"Except that much of what is taught in schools is carefully selected nationalistic b.s. what people k e need to know about history is that the historians' perspective is often subjective, politically -influenced, and nothing but I doctrination. Also, students should be taught this and advised to read widely on multiple perspectives, trends, influences on trends. History also does not stand alone. Understanding attitudes on the times and places, art, economics, religion, all figures into understanding history. It is too often taught as a one-dimensional subject."

"Of course it depends whose voices and perspectives are being amplified and whose are being silenced. Our traditional history curriculums in the US have not been representative of the truth."

"Public schools will never be able to actually teach what is needed to know. Our history classes are crap. Down south they talk about how slaves were happy...we wh*te wash everything to make it all more palatable... If we really taught US history, it would already include black history, native history, Hispanic history But those are not included until college and even THEN, its an elective. our system will not allow anything that doesnt make the founding fathers saints.
We teach this land was "discovered" when natives were here for millennia and pretend like it was a noble thing to steal and massacre them.
Our school system produces idiots.. By design.
Ignorance leads to fear.. And a dumb down scared population is easier to control."

"I’m going to be a history teacher. And you better believe I’m telling the truth.
Americas racist past."

"Except American history is whitewashed AF and is sugarcoated BS. I realized this when I was in 8th grade and called my teacher out on it. I was right ....
“History is always written by the winners. ""

"Education matters! Education, especially history, needs to cover all of our history, the good and the bad. We can't learn from our mistakes if there are people who keep trying to wipe parts of history under the rug as if it didn't exist."
