Yes, of course, the Milgram experiment can be taught as a tragedy and a lesson in experimental ethics. But it's "correct results" are almost always taught, even being published as a pop-science book, when they cannot be know because the experiment is too ethically problematic to be replicated in a modern setting.

Ironically, the "correct results" are often cited as the reason for the tragic suicide of one of the participants.
