No, we don't want to hide it. We just want it taught as fact, without a political narrative packaged along with it. I was taught about slavery and civil rights many years ago, and there was nothing improper about it. This idea that right wingers don't want slavery taught is a lie and a strawman.
White children should not be taught that they are privileged, and black children should not be taught that they are victims. That is not helpful to either race, nor for racial harmony.
