there is time to inculcate the students that the USA is a racist country.

It certainly was at is founding. That's just a basic fact of history. Unless you consider the owning of black slaves and counting them as 3/5 of a human to not be a racist thing. If so, we've got other issues.

How far away from that founding racism we've moved is open to debate. I don't think you can say that racism has been completely eliminated from the US. Its far less a systemic piece of state and federal government than it was 250 years ago. But it still exists among the population.
