I mean... I'm against wokeism and CRT and all that, but the "all men are created equal"-part was really interpreted in very suspect ways over American history, and teaching children about this history is important.
Fun fact: did you know that there was a time when the Supreme Court of the United States invoked the Fifth Amendment, specifically the passage "No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law", to reason a pro-slavery position?
The pure text of the Constitution is not enough to foster patriotism, it's how the words are filled with life. Neither the race-based caste system of the Jim Crow era nor the race-based caste system that the modern left wants to erect serve this purpose.
