Fools!
Anyway, I can't say I am at all a fan of this. This idea that kids should be taught American history without it's bad qualities is just well wrong. Teaching an exceptionalist view of History is not History. It's Propaganda.
I know it's cliche, but if you don't learn your History you're doomed to repeat it. If you are a remotely intelligent and rational individual your understanding of History informs your politics. Getting rid of classes because they teach actual history instead of the feel good mail stamp version of it causes real damage to the psyche of this current generation.
This is not good at all. In fact I am going to write a letter to the Oklahoma Legislature telling them exactly what I think in no small words about their recent vote. I hope that some wise guy in a federal court has the balls to strike this sh*t down.
Seriously, this is just wrong.
This. I'm taking the revised APUSH curriculum right now at a Christian High School and my teacher rightfully laments treating America like a God and how that's been used to justify all of our country's atrocities throughout history. American Exceptionalsim screams militarism and racial superiority.
