Dear Friend,
American history education is broken. Since 2014 the College Board, the company behind the SAT and Advanced Placement (AP) exams, has continued to revise and develop the AP European, United States, and World History examinations. However, in recent years, “revise and develop” has meant: cut out the historical facts, add in revisionist Marxist history, and instill a hatred of Europe and America in high school students.
The National Association of Scholars' new report, Disfigured History: How the College Board Demolishes the Past, details the careless, politicized history in all three of the College Board’s 2019 revisions to its History Course and Exam.
Please join us this Wednesday, November 18th at 2pm ET over Zoom for this free event discussing the current state of history education in America.
