The new Advanced Placement European History framework has received a makeover that eliminates religion’s influence on the development of Western Civilization, ignores Winston Churchill, whitewashes the evils of communism, and lauds the welfare state, according to David Randall with the right-of-center National Association of Scholars.

I'll check the realtors. I started digging in my backyard but I kept running into these old crates of Nazi gold. Man, those things are heavy!

Might as well call it “People’s History of Europe.”
