PBS and Ken Burns' latest propaganda movie is designed to teach students to hate America.https://t.co/ikf0myJJo4

Personally, I didn't feel like The American Revolution was too "wokey". I mean, no more than the rest of Burns' series are. Pretty easy to make the case that his work is "balanced". I certainly didn't feel like it was designed to make people hate America.
This is a great country. But like just about any country, we have had some bad moments. Instead of whitewashing over them, we can study and learn from them. Plenty of room to become even greater.
The biggest problem with The American Revolution was that it was a bit of a snooze fest. I fell asleep while watching it on two different evenings. Not sure what percentage of the whole thing I saw; I think I gave up, at some point. It sort of felt like assigned homework. He should have included a few strategically placed car chases in there, to liven things up.
