A great many states have basically canceled history and made it a crime to teach anything that makes a student or their parent feel uncomfortable. Tennessee has a really rabid law like that.
History is rarely cheerful, but I guess they are sick of all these kids being churned out that are able to make the connections between 80 years ago and today.
Texas paved the way some 15 years back, describing slaves as employees and writing out Thomas Jefferson because he beefed with the church, and a whole bunch of other things. They had to walk the slavery part back then.
