What does it say about how far into leftwingnut insanity the country has plummeted that the wonder isn't that a State has to debate American Exceptionalism, but that there's a State even willing to do so instead of dociley herding its sheeple into the Obamunist Church of The Poisoned Mind:
The question of whether high school students should be taught that America’s status is “exceptional” compared with other nations dominated debate Monday over the redesigned Advanced Placement U.S. History course.
Larry Krieger, a retired history teacher and national activist, urged the State Board of Education to demand that the College Board revise the AP U.S. History course because its seventy-page framework omits the mention of “American exceptionalism” that was in previous guidelines. Instead of teaching that America is “a force for good in the world” and stands for democracy and freedom, Krieger said, the new course is designed to promote a globalist perspective.
i.e. an "Old World" perspective that smears America as a nightmarish polity, founded by "evil, white, racist, sexist, homophobic, Christianist theocrats" bent on a perpetual Second Inquisition, and filled with inequities and bigotries and injustices. Or, put still another way, precisely the sort of Regressive primitivism New World settlers, and later (legal) immigrants, came to here to escape, and the Founding Fathers were determined not to emulate. Which is what made America exceptional in the first place.
“I call upon the North Carolina Board of Education – an influential board of education – to stand up for America, and call upon the College Board to rectify this situation by revising the framework,” Krieger said.
An inspiring embodiment of what Dylan Thomas once wrote: "Do not go gentle into that good night; rage, rage, against the dying of the light."
Which I'm going to guess is not included anywhere in Common Core Curriculum Programs (CCCP).
