That depends what you want. Do you want a society of jingoistic droids who say "My country right or wrong" but refuse to teach or acknowledge that the "wrong" ever existed? I prefer nuance and historical complexity myself- and I tell my children that there are always multiple ways of viewing any event- as we witness in our own household. Their child's eye view of things is often quite different from mine- using their own experience as a spring board it is easy to teach them this concept. I am sure it will make them better citizens of the world, and better citizens of this country and better people (within my definition of "better" of course. My children will, I hope, think for themselves as I do- something that terrifies many people.)
