Should We Focus on Race When Teaching U.S. History?

Healing Race

How can our country teach the good and the bad of our history in a way that confronts the racial challenges we've had while also highlighting the good that we've brought to our country and the world?

Can we teach our racial history in a way that isn’t watered down - covering the range of discrimination, persecution, and prejudice that has existed - but that also doesn’t create defensiveness with Americans who feel proud of what our country has accomplished?

And can using race as a way to frame our education go too far, as expressed by opponents of "critical race theory" and "anti-racism" approaches?
