High-school history teachers nationwide will give their top students a dark retelling of U.S. history this fall, courtesy of the College Board, a nonprofit college readiness firm led by Common Core architect David Coleman.

The College Board – which administers AP (advanced placement) courses and tests – is rolling out a revised curriculum framework for AP U.S. history, offering the 450,000 students who take AP U.S. history classes a hero-free account of America’s deeply stained past.

Is this a common core thread?

I don't really see a problem with it. They're just presenting facts from a different perspective. History, all history, is good, bad, and ugly.

So Washington is hardly mentioned and the declaration of independence get s only two mentions. Sounds great.

in terms of world history, the united states has the least violent and oppressive foundation of any place on this planet

furthermore, the ideas behind the constitution are what pushed us so quickly through this...I'm left with the conclusion that radical leftists are so anti capitalism and anti freedom (really one in the same) that their tactic is to smear the people whose names are associated with building the foundation and framework of the nation.

Christopher Columbus was a murdering murderer...so what? and only the Italians fricking get pissed at the notion

Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and others were remarkable men, they're like the avengers of remarkable people.

It's enough to consider how crazy intelligent and important one of them was, but they all came together to fight loki...to implement radical ideas that have produced the highest standard of living on the planet while giving the most amount of freedoms

and yet, we still practice a perverse form of their ideas...I want more

Did I miss it or was there not a link to the actual 124 page document anywhere in that entire article?

Hopefully these progressive bastards don't change the part about the founding fathers advocating abstention from foreign entanglements in favor of a Wilsonian view of spreading democracy around and foreign intervention.
