The first link is from 2014 and has since been dealt with. Jefferson County had a special election and voted out the d-bag district guy that was proposing this. The person that got voted out was a conservative. Dan McMinimee is a liar and is now gone.
The second article is from 2010, third from 2015 and the fourth is from 2012. Nothing recent or relevant.
The only recent article is the last one and it is from Sri Lanka. WTH?

This thread is a huge fail.
No kidding. Furthermore, I find it hilarious that the OP, with his rabidly right-wind posting history, would post a link to the story about Jefferson County. Did he even read it? Good grief!
I guess they got tired of simply re-writing it and decided it was easier to just do away with it altogether.
Keep in mind that it is conservatives who want to rid public universities of all liberal arts programs. Remember, college is a vocational school to these people.

In these waning days of Trump and the Alt-Right, it's getting harder for these people to meet their quota of deflection threads. When the whole charade that has infested our federal government crashes, their posts will become even more pathetic. Then suddenly, their sponsors will cancel and they'll disappear.
It’s been going on for a long time, overtly. After watching a series of man on the street videos I asked various relatives, neighbors, and co-workers a series of basic American history questions.
1. Who won the American Revolutionary War and who were we fighting against?
2. Who were we at war with in WW2?
3. What are the three branches of the US Government?
4. Who won the American Civil War?
I was sadly shocked by how many couldn’t answer a single question correctly. Didn’t even bother to ask for dates nor even century no decade some of these events took place. For some who couldn’t answer, the last class they took was in the 1960s, more than 50 years ago. Some were less than ten years from the classroom. Destroy a nation’s history and eventually you destroy the country from within. We have a growing number of young people who don’t identify as Americans. They actually hate America. They’d rather be considered a citizen of the world and would want USA to cede power over to the United Nations, a corrupt government organization that supports dictatorships and terrorist supporting Islamic countries over democratic governments. If you think I’m exaggerating, talk with your family and acquaintances, especially those in their teens and twenty something. Even some in their thirties have this mental gap of historical knowledge about our country.
In an effort to repeat history and the horrors that came with it.
Did you read these sources? Like the first one?
It is odd that you say “schools are trying...” when it was one particular board of ed member and she was countered by protests from the students themselves. In the second to last one, it was members of tea party trying to dictate curriculum changes. Again not the schools. Weird that you don’t note that it is distinctly not the schools themselves that are trying to do this.
