For those of you that may not know, ROPE began in 2009, as a way to bring civics and real American History back into the Oklahoma classroom. A discussion for another time - as we must continue to fight Common Core in Oklahoma - there are mountains of evidence collected by many, many organizations that show how poorly we are educating American children about America. In addition, were not educating kids on civics at all - unless you call Im Just A Bill by Schoolhouse Rock the epitome of civics education... ....the teaching of American history in our high schools has just been seized in what a few sharp-eyed critics rightly call a “curricular coup.” The College Board, the private company that creates the SAT test and the various Advance Placement tests, has issued a new set of guidelines that is about to turn the teaching of American history into exactly the sort of grievance-based pedagogy that D’Souza decries in his film. Leftist academics have finally figured out a way to circumvent state and local control over America’s schools and effectively impose progressive political indoctrination on the entire country. Once the AP U.S. History test demands blame-America-first answers, public and private schools alike will be forced to construct an American history curriculum that “teaches to the test.”
