RE: If you controlled the history curriculum what would you teach?

I think it is safe if we do our best to not become dogmatic about ANYTHING. Everything should be open to be challenged. That doesn't mean changing a view should be easy, yet someone should not be attacked for attempting to do so. Also part of things can be informative and true while the WHOLE can have incorrect parts. We often treat things as ALL or NOTHING when really it is very often SOME.

    Yes. There are very few instances in life where ALL the discordant parts are correct.

    Yes, Socrates was a master of this approach. Wisdom is being aware of one’s ignorance.
