re: #93 BeachDem

Did you see what they want to replace the AP courses with:

One that taught “foundational documents” that include the Ten Commandments, numerous sermons, and three speeches by Reagan — but none by any Democratic president since Lyndon Johnson…

That emphasis would include teaching students Jonathan Edwards’ sermon “Sinners in the Hands of a Angry God,” the purpose of which is to remind the people that God may cast a sinner into Hell at any moment, so the best course of action is to accept Christ immediately. It would also include speeches by both Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, which are included because of their “foundational” value.

So they want to replace actual history which is analyzing good and bad parts and replace it with their own propaganda. I just love how the right accuses the left of wanting to indoctrinate our kids and then we see their education plans which is literal bonafide indoctrination. As a graduate of history, we learn history by looking at the good and bad. We are a great nation but we are not a nation without errors made along the way.
