Its middle school meaning its just going to be state history, what is there to whitewash. No textbook has defended the civilwar or " manifest destiny" for at least 30 years....I mean maybe world history but that is more or less a chronological list of people/events and what happened not anything indepth.

It's never as overt as defending the Civil War or Manifest Destiny.

It's stuff like, say with my Residential School system example, completely leaving out that children were forcibly taken from their parents to be sent to these "schools", never saw them again, and were beaten, raped, and died all in the name of exterminating the Native way of life.

Instead you'd get told shit like "Kids went to these schools to learn English and be educated in order to successfully integrate into settler life".
