I don't understand. This is a total straw man of what progressives would like taught in history courses? Is there a citation of anyone saying, "only teach the bad stuff"? People are saying, "you can't only teach the good stuff."

“Standard approach” and “until recently” are pretty vague. I’ve been teaching a long time and I cover lots of America’s nasty side. I’ve never met someone teaching hoo-rah US history. (College level NYC, other places may be different.)

Generally sympathetic to the 1619 "project," but the Dunning school of historiography was discredited a half-century ago. Hardly "very recently."

You literally have recent examples of liberal Democratic politicians echoing Dunning school (as in 2016 presidential nominee):https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/01/hillary-clinton-reconstruction/427095/ …

Can you find a line in NHJ voluminous public commentary where you can point out she is proud of some aspects of USA? All liberals and centrists know America is mix of good and bad, overall a unique collective endeavor in mod history. Where do you see the left acknowledge good?

I'm not at all sure your characterization of American history pedagogy is true (based on my own experience I suspect you're strongly overstating things), but also I think people don't pay attention in class and mainly learn about history from the internet and their peers.

"Very recently" you do know Hofstadter dismissed Dunning in the 40s right?

My dad wrote a whole book about it: Lies My Teacher Told Me. He surveyed a bunch of most used textbooks and analyzed their presentation on different eras of US history.

It’s a great book, as well as the followup Lies Across America that examines what is represented on historical markers, statues and monuments throughout the nation.
