I can't see how to teach an honest, painful history of the United States that assumes people act solely as individuals and not as part of a system. Slavery and Jim Crow and Indian removals and lesser rights for women were most certainly systemic.

In Jim Crow states there wasn't a single honest cop, prosecutor, judge or jury member. There wasn't a single business that was allowed to practice unfettered capitalism and accept all customers. The system was written down in laws.
