[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not limited to private school. AP US History book is more sociology than history. Every chapter talks about the role of women and minorities to the point where important events are left out. [/quote] History is not just a list of events. History is also what people did and how they lived. And most of humanity consists of women and minorities..[/quote] Over-exaggerating accomplishments to be "diverse" and ignoring major historical accomplishments because they were accomplished by old white guys isn't teaching history. It is skewing facts to make a statement and does a disservice to everyone.[/quote] Please give a specific example from the AP US History curriculum that overexaggerates accomplishments to be diverse and ignores major historical accomplishments because they were accomplished by old white guys. Actually two specific examples would be great, but one will suffice.[/quote]
