2. We are actually preventing education, we are lying by omission & promoting a false history.

Where is our exceptionalism in learning from mistakes of the past, lest history repeat itself?

I will never understand WHY we must play cheerleader to anything when clearly all of us are a work in progress. I've always felt no person is perfect, no nation is perfect, we either continually learn to better ourselves, or we decay in ignorance. Stagnation and self-congratulations are for the pompous and is just plain lazy. I don't understand that way of thinking, and I hope I never do.

It's a self-defeating and backwards philosophy, IMHO.
