"It's important that students understand not only our flaws and failings, but also the degree to which the United States was really the first modern democracy, and the degree to which it has inspired democrats around the world," Diamond said. "It's a call for balance; it's not a call for purging from the history books honest criticism of our failings."

I don't know how many times I have heard the canard that we are trying to gloss over the "evils" of the past, how often the "white man" is the cause of every conceivable evil and so on. IF this is taken to heart, it could be a signal that there will be an attempt at balance in our schools. One can pray that this is true anyway.
