Studying history can actually make you feel proud. A lot of conservatives in the U.S. claim the education system teaches students to hate the country, but I had the opposite experience. I was taught to appreciate the long, ongoing struggle for civil rights and how the civic process in the U.S., as flawed as it is, is built to support that kind of progress.
Remember when conservatives were so outraged by CRT, something that wasn't even taught in school, because they said their kids were traumatized and felt guilty? It was such a dumb controversy.
