Do they still teach kids that Crispus Attucks was one of the first PATRIOTS killed at the start of the Revolution?

If so, they will likely portray him as a victim rather than heroic figure.

No. Apparently they thought Mel Gibson signing up a slave to fight next to white people in the movie The Patriot, was unrealistic.
