Not all historians believe the US has good values rooted in Christianity. Some believe Christianity is evil and the US is therefore evil because of Christian influence. Others believe America worships whiteness and has been racist against blacks from its founding until today. Others believe the American history taught in public schools should focus on the ideas, values, and accomplishments of blacks while minimizing the ideas, values, and accomplishments of whites.
None of that nonsense should be allowed. History is history and facts are not to be twisted, adjusted, manipulated, edited, or otherwise made to conform to the emotional views of discontented mobs driven by envy, greed, or animosity.
