You're asking two totally different questions here. History should be stated objectively when we know objectively (the U.S. declaration of independence was signed on July 4, 1776) and subjectively when we know subjectively (basically anything involving motivations for actions).
Whether we should intentionally lie is an entirely separate issue, and honestly, I don't see how any sane, well-intentioned person could propose lying in history classes.
