You are seeing some of the basic reasons why homeschooling has grown.
Check out homeschool history curriculum to see "another world" from how it has been taught in public school systems for probably three to four decades now.
There was a conservative couple, Norma and Ed Gabler, who made massive efforts to make people realize how much public school curriculum was being changed. They have had strong influence in TX and this article link lists an offshoot into FL.
The trouble is who decides what is the "correct" view? The ironic joke has been that the winners write history and they get to decide. (Might I say that it seems to me that recently it is more those of a victim/entitlement mentality who seem to be making the choices.)
It is a difficult line between correcting revisionist history and censorship.
BUT if you want a nation to retain its core values, then it would seem obvious that the education for young people should be teaching those core values, and looking at history FROM those core values as it is presented to young easily influenced children.
Sort of like understanding that if you want to maintain a nation, then you have to have boundaries and laws as to who can legally become a part of the nation: ie those who understand, appreciate and agree to uphold the values of the nation they are choosing to enter.
If any nation doesn't do these basic things, they will lose their national identity, from within and without: both by the loss of the next generation of leaders who have grown up without being taught the core values and by being overwhelmed with people who do not agree yet are permitted to be citizens and are given positions of authority
