They wouldn't pass up on WWII since that's the last time we were honestly seen as the good guys to the world. The Cold War would probably be there too just to show "communism doesn't work".

WWII might be risky because some students might ask what specifically made the world consider the axis evil.

"Well, little Timmy, you may have heard some other things about that whcih we're not allowed to talk about, but the truth is that there were some Germans who believed ardently in the German state's rights to do, uh, ...stuff."

Erm. I'll give credit for supporting Ukraine, but they seem to be backsliding on that

You’d think they would want to talk about the Civil war too. That was a notable event in history where the democrat party of the time was the bad guys and wanted to keep slavery legal.

No no, because then white kids feel guilty and everyone has reason to doubt the glory of our beloved nation. America dindu
