As a history teacher, I get asked if I teach "Real" History.  Usually, this means do I teach a version of history that is palatable to a liberal or conservative viewpoint.  And it is a wholly erroneous question.  History is not simple, black and white answers.  It is a kaleidoscope of color that changes with the way the light hits it.  And it is all true.  If a people survive long enough, their entire history becomes one long line of "inconvenient truths."
