Is the US perfect? No, of course not, but it can improve. Afterall, it's the great experiment. Has it made mistakes in the past? Yes, no country is perfect in that reguard. Still, it atempts to correct those mistakes as best it can, no other country does that. Some folks nationalistic self hate is misguided.
If the goal of today's schools were to indoctrinate students with a contempt for America, capitalism, and liberty, and to brainwash them with socialism, self-doubt, and an obeisance to group-identity victimization and identity politics, then I wouldn't say they've failed at all. The left has taken over our schools, from Kindergarten all the way through university, and they use their positions to inculcate their ideologies into impressionable minds...
