Well it sounds like the whole point of this class is to supplement the omitted facts that are not discussed in the standard history class.


So what you're saying is that this is an additional class? That these students will also get the standard history class, as well?

I didn't see that in the article. Do you have a link or other proof of this?

This is not unexpected by those of us who oppose common core. Common core is going to either go away or become the focus of an ongoing battle to change the curriculum.

This negative portrayal of America is designed to make American kids ashamed of their country and support the leftist opinion that America is the cause of all of the problems in the world and that we must repent.

I work with a lot of Indians who are over here working because they have work visas and hope to get green cards and, eventually, citizenship. They think America is the greatest place ever and that we are crazy for beating ourselves up over our imperfections. They say that racism is 10 times worse in India than it is here, and laugh at how we somehow think we are the last bastion of racisim.

Leftists know the importance of the stories we tell young people. Leftists believe America is bad, they want young Americans to believe this too.
If things are good, who needs Progressives?

This is an advanced placement class to prepare kids for college. Kids in AP math don't skip basic algebra classes, but have demonstrated they already understand the material just like these AP history students have done.

College history classes break down certain time periods in order to cover the many different facets of those periods. This class is discussing the dynamics that are generally omitted from standard high school history classes to get these kids prepared for advanced college history courses. Would you have this type of class banned from college campuses?
