If you have a bias free educational curriculum that works for all of the children of all of the citizens of America, I'd love to see it.

Nothing's perfect. I learned many things in school which now have turned out to be wrong (I remember a proof of why a continent was too heavy to move, therefore the apparent fit of Africa into the Carribean was just a coincidence). Students entered the elementary school with certain patterns and lifestyles, some were cowboys, some hippies, and a few different hispanic cultures. I went back to my 25 year reunion last year and guess what? The cowboys were still cowboys (whatever their day job) and the hippies still liked rock & roll. Everyone knew enough about each others culture to be glad to see each other but had retained their basic identity. A world-view would have to have been built on a very weak foundation to be changed by the public school experience.
