Alan: Chauvinist/jingoist "normalcy" based on the belief that "The Official Story" is central to goodness, prosperity and religious/civic virtue insures that any attempt to teach history in depth will be deemed as corrupting as Socrates effect on Athenian youth. 

"Here's your hemlock. Man up and drink."

Depth history will be resisted tooth and nail because any understanding of reaonable historical perspectives across the political spectrum threatens chauvinists and jingoists with loss of identity, and worse, loss of their children's allegiance to the "settled" view of history taught in American middle schools.
