Can make it easier: I think they’re being disingenuous about the wanting it taught exactly as it happened part.

Good news: They're also ok with them being opinionated, so long as it's their opinion

The ruling class is, but this character in the comic probably just believes that the propaganda he was fed as a child is the truth, and any revision to that is politically motivated.

If you want some American history that wasn't taught in schools because it would make America look bad (yes this is an actual law on the books) listen to The Dollop podcast

Fortunately the people that have won all the wars and wrote the history books have always been the good guys! /s

This is exactly, exactly why the same textbook company, makes the same textbook, given to all the other states... but this version omits enough that Florida/Texas/Louisiana/etc will find it palatable enough to teach most of the truth to their children without having to feel uncomfortable. Right-wingers are a cult, man...
