Be honest did any of you actually take AP US history and the placement exam? I did and got a 5 which allowed me to get 13 hrs of college credit (near one full semester) right there, I also took AP macro econ and AP micro Econ as well as AP biology and AP government, i had over 70 hours of credit before setting one foot at my college. Some of my classmates took MUCH more than me and had full years already done, those that don't want to teach this are doing nothing but holding all people back, what a shame. This is terrible. History is history, sorry if you don't like it but some bad and terrible things happened, the reason we teach it so we can try and not repeat our past mistakes.
BTW speeches by Ronald Reagan are fine THEY ARE HISTORY but the commandments please that is nothing more than trying once again to force religion where it needs not be. I'm not Democrat or Republican but believe an objective history is fine, covering EVERYTHING, but religion does not belong there sorry and I'm glad to have had the big advantage over other students when going to college.
Terrible......
