This is disturbing. APUSH actually attempts to do what real history courses are supposed to which is present different ways to interpret and analyze our country's history.
Surprised this hasn't happened earlier.
You think the Right in this country wants people to even know of "different ways to interpret and analyze our country's history"?(nevermind whether students agree with them or not).
The purpose of education from the Right's perspective is to create loyal citizens and employees. They think questioning anything is a useless luxury at best, dangerous subversiveness at worst. This is nothing new.
I'm very much right-wing and I strongly believe that we should teach both the good and the bad about any country, including America. I remember when I was 13 and my history textbook talked about some of America's actions in the Middle East and I remember being so appalled that America could possibly do anything wrong. It's probably why I have my views on foreign policy today.
