August 16, 2014 College Board Erases the Founding Fathers. By Patrick Jakeway
The classic novel Brave New World describes a future in which people have lost all of their liberty and in which they have become drugged robots obedient to a central authority. It also details how this control was first established. First, the rulers had to erase all history and all the people’s memory of a time before their bondage.
Today, the history of George Washington's leadership has been erased in the new Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. History test/curriculum, taking effect in the fall of 2014. The College Board, the organization that publishes the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) and AP tests, has also decided to completely blot out Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, among others. In this newly revised course, Gen. Washington merits one fleeting mention in one sentence, in reference to his Farewell Address.
American history without George Washington? That is like the Beatles without Paul McCartney or the Super Bowl without Vince Lombardi. A former AP U.S. history teacher, Larry Krieger, provides insightful analysis of these sweeping changes here. The rebuttal of Trevor Parker, senior vice president for AP programs at the College Board, can be found here, and Mr. Krieger’s defense here. As an aside, it should be noted that the College Board’s new president, David Coleman, is also one of the major architects of Common Core.
The 98-page College Board AP U.S. History curriculum framework can be read here. Mr. Krieger’s analysis makes clear that this deletion was by design and not by accident. The new College Board U.S. history defines the USA as a racist, genocidal, imperialist nation. Their whole point is that America is bad so of course they leave America’s heroes out.

AP courses are not required. Don’t take them.
It’s dumbing down of the education system. They’ve got to be able to make it so dummies can pass the courses.
Why I remind my fellow Michiganders to make a point of voting for university boards of regents and directors. These are easy wins for the right if only we vote for them.
Tea partier Dr Rob Steele is running for university of Michigan board of regents again and we need to put him over the top.
Stupid teachers are teaching stupid curriculum.
My kids learned more about WWII from their grandmother than they ever did from their teachers.
getting rid of those slaveholding terrorists.
I watched this summers Last Comic Standing one comedian had this riff.
Founding fathers return to the WH.
The media asks them about global warming and they say, never mind, what’s this about women voting.
Obama walks in and they say Is that Jefferson’s kid?
Funny the way he delivered it.
“Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. History test/curriculum”
OK, I don’t really understand the nature of this.
I remember “AP” CLASSES, which I assumed was simply because one excelled in one’s previous class, so the administrators (school, not College Board) bumped one up. Just as if one excelled in math, one could take Calculus instead of just Trigonometry. It was a school judgement call, I thought.
I know all about SAT but isn’t that different completely from an “AP test”?
This is not dumbing down, this is brainwashing.
People that don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it. We are walking in the footsteps of Great Britain living under tyrrany once again as it existed hundreds of years ago only with technology and more cultural diversity...
It's even worse than that - it's sedition.
So the dumbing down of America continues. No wonder the youngsters voted to put an incompetent moron in the White House. They did it to impress their MARXIST and COMMUNIST “perfesors”.
Replaced by victimization, grievance, and axe-grinding.
May they rot in their own bitterness.
Commies hate that America helped the USSR crumble.
“The new College Board U.S. history defines the USA as a racist, genocidal, imperialist nation. Their whole point is that America is bad so of course they leave America’s heroes out.”
But. . .but. . .but. . .these same board members endorse/support illegal aliens sneaking their way in to the US, sneaking in to find a better life. . .wait. . .talk about cognizant dissonance.
Yeah, maybe there's something about their agenda they aren't telling us.
REALITY CHECK A recent TV news segmnt chronicled the story of an "impoverished" Spanglish speaking immigrant who paid thousands to have her son coached to take the tests....but he was so stupid, he still couldnt pass them. That's when the changes were made---to accomodate stupid latinos---replacing American history w/ strange Third World teachings.
=================================================
The ding-a-ling in the WH is turning our schools into refugee camps........w/ calculated plans to inculcate the savage illiterates w/ hate-America, anti-American ideology.
==================================================
TALKING POINTS Some 10 years back, Texas schools started using Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints. Mexican textbooks falsified US history, and proselytized students w/ blood-thirsty La Raza savagery. Teaching was little more than brainwashing---inculcating students w/ separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.
===========================================
Obama's hate-America idealogy has been adopted by the College Board---which defines U.S. history as a racist, genocidal, imperialist nation.....the point being that "America is so bad." they must eradicate all mention of its founders and other American heroes.
===============================================
ACTION NOWSpread the word----no candidate gets your vote if they do not confront this outrageous move by the College Board---an affront to every American.
Can’t argue with that.
