We are all Americans. I don't think that creating a course on one version of history creates any kind of unity. We have a shared history, whether good or bad, that built this country. Bringing race into everything creates more division after all the years of turmoil regarding race.

IMO, it is not a matter of "bringing race into everything." It is a matter of teaching our history accurately and presenting all cultural versions. I am sure the history of European settlement of the continent is much different than the history of those brought here in chains, or the history of those peoples that were here when the Europeans arrived.
I am always thrilled when I have the opportunity to listen to some on my in-laws relate some of their cultural history.
