Probably? It always comes down to history, with art and literature being a reflection of it.
An objective reading of all history, were there time, would still be disliked by any who place political allegiance above greater good. Add in the necessary summarization that must occur, to be able to fit a large amount of material in a smaller amount of class time, and it becomes even more fraught.
Fundamentally, whether to teach a part of history, and how much emphasis or context to put on various parts, is a politically-adjacent question.
