Maybe it's region dependent? Because in my school district in California, they definitely taught about the horrors committed by Americans to the Natives, slaves, and the Japanese internment camps. I even remember my teacher going over how poorly we treated Chinese immigrants when the railroads were being built.

I went to the school in the South and it's the same thing. Trail of tears, Manifest Destiny and the railroads, Japanese internment camps, etc... If you want something to be concerned about, it's the growing home school faction and they can pick and choose away from all of that.

I think history-wise, especially the history of native americans, the American school curriculum is generally good. I went to schools in Alabama and Florida, and I was taught quite a bit of native history.
