In North Korea, this forum wouldn't be banned, it would be revered and taught in schools as a palatable and preferable version of Western history. And in many ways, that's all the truth the children of North Korea need

Could we get some parents to comment on the OP?

I'd like to hear what someone who has actually tried to teach children thinks about it.

In my experience, children want "THE ANSWER".  It's only later that they can grasp the concept of ambiguity and uncertainty.

I think my daughter understands ambiguity and uncertainty on some level.  For example, one day I was taking her to preschool, I totally blanked, and started to drive down the wrong road.  I was able to find a couple side streets and we ended up getting to where we were going.  My daughter, of course immediately recognized we were driving on the "wrong" road.  I explained to her how sometimes you can take different roads and still get to the same place.  She seemed okay with that idea.  Of course, little kids crave routine and predictability, so she insisted that next time we take the regular road.

My son is 14.  6'2-1/2" tall.  I fed the silly bastard too much meat.

My daughter is 12.  Red head.  It's her way or her way.

I live with THREE other people who are like this and all male.  And it doesn't help I'm the same way.

3 Alpha Males and 1 Alpha Female.  Never a dull moment in this house.

Sweet jesus, I have one too but blond and almost 5. Some of our friends are preparing a religion around her now just in case she turns out to really be the Antichrist. By the time she was born she'd already accomplished 2 impossible things.
