As one of the people who participated in that other thread, I would say the show is truthful even if not 100% factual. As a piece of entertainment I have no problem with truth over facts. My only concern was using it as an educational tool might imply to the students that it is completely factual.

I think that it's use as an "educational tool" is to pique interest in Hamilton and American history in general. It probably will encourage further study. I think it will make history come alive for them. Like watching the movie Romeo+Juliet (not 100% accurate to the Shakespearean text) and then reading the play and really being able to understand it.
