You can give context that has no opinion in it, yes. Is it dry? Yes. But so should a foundation be. Elementary - High school is just a foundation.

They are taught already the basic reasoning for things. Civil war for instance. They are taught this was North vs. South and that slavery was an issue. They are not told though that the fight to free slaves was really just a voting/power issue that had very little to actually do with sympathy for the slaves. Because that part is subjective. You can take that and mold it all sorts of ways. You trust the teacher to make that judgement for you?

Human rights are different from things like Civil Rights. Civil rights they're taught. Human rights are a subject of it's own and has too many contradictions to be taught in Social Studies! How can you teach children that we fought something for basic HUMAN RIGHTS - and killed the opposing while doing it? We fought for the human rights of the Jews in WWII (among other reasons). Oh, but we killed lots of innocent Germans to do it. Human rights are subjective.

A little OVEREACTING can go a long way. Which is what I think happened in this case. ;-)
