Proposition: That the more varied our sources of history, and other stories by which we define ourselve, the healthier our society, and that when give authority for our national history to a select, elite, few, our society is weakened.

Now, I'm interested in either debating whether that proposition is true or not, or accepting it as true, simply discussing, instead, how to achieve a society with the widest possible range of storytellers in the shaping of our national identities.

Either way, I'd like to do it without resorting to name-calling and insults.
