## Resource

Every nation's history contains both beauty and atrocity — America is no exception. Yet increasingly, the American story is being told through only one lens. Recent data suggests that young Americans are being shaped to view their country with contempt rather than complexity. But the root of our failures isn't oppression along lines of race, gender, religion, or class. It's something more fundamental: our shared humanity. There is no perfect system because there is no perfect people. If we’re going to keep our great Republic, we must know and learn from the dark periods of our history while lighting the way toward a brighter future. If we teach American history as an exercise in oppression, we will build a people who hate themselves. Dare to love America.
