In this article it explains how conservatives are getting their way, with a more patriotic curriculum. I for one see major problems with this as the whole point of teaching history is to help the current generation learn from past mistakes. And by just skipping the bad parts our country has done will do a disservice to the future of America. I thought the new exam had some problems, but the liberalness of the exam was not one of them. In fact I thought the exam this year was rather conservative in its content.
