APUSH Succumbs to Political Pressure

I’m shocked. Never knew CB would have to bow to Conservatives. Yes, we see a negative light but we also see a less filtered light of America’s history.

And, yes, Ben Carson, I am ready to join ISIS due to this course.

Wow… Some of this article reads like The Onion. Politicians with no stake in education should not control our educational system.

The ISIS comment is hilarious. I didn’t take APUSH, but I know a lot of people that did, and so far none of them have joined ISIS :slight_smile:

As an APUSH survivor I can tell you that I have not yet joined ISIS. I do live in extremely liberal California, but my teacher was a Conservative. I can tell you that she is going to be outraged by this. But go USA right???//??/?

Wow! When things like this happen, I wonder how long it will be before we are living in the world of the book ‘1984’. History shouldn’t be changed just because you disagree with it. It’s the only way for future generations to not make our dumb mistakes again (or at least know how to fix them). [-X
