le and content of this article is very biased. It wasn't just conservatives who were critical of APUSH.

"it explicitly mentions the concept of American exceptionalism"yep USA doesn't torture!
"highlights America's positive influence on world"
, like its role in ending the Cold War,"
Did the new "American" history books say how John Rambo stomped the Soviets in Afghanistan?

Sorry boutons
So do you think anything was wrong with it and if so, what things were wrong?
Do you think the AP course in US history should contain more than passing mention of George Washington and at least SOME mention of Martin Luther King Jr.?
I'm not an expert in education but if it's AP, we're talking about the brightest students in the school who are taking it and receiving college credit, so it's not like every History 101 figure needs to have a place in it. They would already have had to learn about MLK and Washington to even get to this point in their education.
I haven't compared the two tests, so I can't really speak to whether it presented an unfairly negative view of US History, but I'm guessing 95% of people who have any opinion on this also formed it without actually reviewing the test questions beyond the highlights from their cable news of choice or email subscriptions. Sounds like another case of soundbites and mock outrage guiding policy.
Lol, now it's the HuffPo headline "AP US History Caves to Conservatives"
Smh
You didn't answer my question, Darrin.
My God.
they revise history taught is schools more frequent than climatologists correct the climate record.
History be damned!
We don't need no stinking truth taught in the schools.
Who needs to learn about that white cis-male s anyway? What did he ever do besides founding the patriarchy?
What specific issues did you have with the new APUSH test?
I listed two things I think are wrong.
What cons utes a passing mention?
If was actually left out, were there mentions of the passage of civil rights legislation in the 60s?
Also there is nothing in the article that mentions either of these things. Is there somewhere else you are getting this?
some posters seem to be wary to share where they get their stories and their takes.
