People should not have to be taken to a broadway show to become interested in American history. Our history should be, and in many cases is, taught in schools in the most accurate manner possible long before children are of the age to attend and understand historical references portrayed in a broadway musical. The teaching of the events and people that founded our country must be presented to our young people in the most accurate way possible. You are not going to get this information by watching Hamilton. I agree that a competent teacher can separate fact from fiction, but in Hamilton there is some fact and some fiction that must be discussed with our young people so that they are correctly informed.
