How can we be ashamed of our history when such a staggeringly small percentage of our population know anything about it?

And how can expect people to learn it when on one side we have laughably sanitized versions that ignore events and graft imaginary 21st century values retroactively and on the other side we have people insisting that nobody in the past did anything wrong ever and that it's heresy to suggest it.

We need healthy does of objectivity.
