I think I have a really good History Class and Teacher, we have an open minded view on all historical events. We're basically covering Modern History this year, and attacking it from all perspectives, I don't feel like he's trying to brainwash me, but rather help me develop an understanding of why this happened so I can formulate an opinion on it.
And he's open to debate, had a really good class where we debated on the values of Communism and Capitalism, that was interesting to see everyone's perspective and all opinions were respected, controversial or not.
The text book is pretty good, but we don't work on it solely.
I don't think I was told any lies in History, or any lies at all, maybe some bias views, but that comes from other Subjects and when I did Australian History when I was 12, you only saw one side, I was lucky enough to be able to comprehend both sides, other kids who didn't give a fuck, oh well. Too bad.
And yes, I'm Australian if that has any significance.
