"There is a story going around that professors like me are indoctrinating students into an ideology that says the United States is evil and that its history and culture are tainted by events that occurred centuries ago. That story appears pretty silly to anyone with actual experience in a college classroom, but apparently, it works to raise money and get votes. What actually happens in history classes, at least the ones I know, is that we think and write about what history means to those living today."

This is an amazing distillation.
