You'd fit right in with the Jefferson County (Colorado) school board.

And why shouldn't a county school board review lessons being taught within their district? Looking at the program in question, it warrants review.

Leave it to the experts, not the politicians.

these "experts" aren't above changing history by omitting things to change the narrative to their personal political beliefs. The School Board has the right and responsibility to review lesson plans.

My system's recent US History curriculum spends more time on the US internment of the Japanese than it does on the rest of WW II.

You don't really have to tell me if Common Core covers it.

Common core is only a few years old. Dumbazzes have been around for centuries.

So presenting a more balanced view of what actually happened, including discussing events that have been downplayed or omitted in the past, is now "changing history"?

Depends on the point of view. What professors and teachers who already hate USA see as balanced is far leftist to one who loves and respects our nation's history; the good, the bad, and the ugly.

That's sad. When I was in high school the internment was discussed along with the rest of the events of WW2.

Totally agree. These teachers hate America almost as much as do Moochie and B. Hussein Uh-Bomb-Ah.
