….Now, the board will consider axing the 2010 standards and amending several others, like moving “slavery” to the head of a list of the causes of the Civil War. Currently, slavery comes in the middle of a the list that also includes states’ rights, sectionalism and protective tariffs….

That seems like a step forward — slavery as the top item. I have always hated the term “states’ rights” which represents to me the right of states to retain laws discriminating against African-Americans. That was manifestly true during my teenage years in the turbulent 60’s.
