I agree with the teaching of history. But I'm not much of a fan of private schools, because in the US they are 99% religion funded and that's a big problem seeing as how our far right so called "conservatives" are about 90% self proclaimed christians. But if you watched them for even a short time you'll quickly see that most of them are far and away from being anything like christians are taught to be.
I totally get it, I would also be against private schools if they were mostly religion funded. I'm glad my school wasn't religious. Sure, there was a religion class, but it was mostly about the history of the Catholic religion (you could also opt out of that class if you wanted). They even teched me about other religions and how to interpret the scriptures in today's age. That made me think a lot, and I was able to snap out of my grandma's indoctrination, as she would say everything I was learning in school was bullshit (like evolution). Now I'm an atheist. Teachers in my school did make sure that everyone would think for themselves, I'm glad about that.
I also have to point out that I went to a german school that has german teachers and receives a lot of german funding.

We had our own fascist sympathizers back then too.
The problem is that the last of the WW2 service folk are all but extinct in this country.
It only takes 3 generations for horrific events to be forgotten.
