I didn't really read it in depth, but I don't see where your beef is. It looks comparable to the history classes I took. I would like to see the later chapters described, though.

Let's see, the class concentrates on everything progressive (anti-American) and almost nothing about what a student needs to learn about American history to be a good citizen.

There is NO history of the American Revolution or colonial times.
NO discussion of the Western expansion and its importance in the development of the nation.
Technology and the environment as part of US history? Come on, this is just to help create new greenies who use the environment to stifle the American economy.
Big effort spent on US IMPERIALISM. The emphasis on imperialism is straight out of the anti-America talking points that communists like to place on US history.
Race? The exercises for this class focus on Jim Crow laws and the Japanese internment. Why is such emphasis put on these and not the fact that different races have made huge progress in this country? Race in this section is used to be devisive and make certain groups of children very uncomfortable.
Labor is also a favorite of this instructor. Labor as a means for allowing communism to get a foothold in a once free country. Did you see the movies that he shows? Manufacturing consent, which is by famous communist Noam Chomsky? How about Salt of the Earth? A pro-communist propaganda film that was banned in the 1950's? Did you see some of the supplemental reading materials? Articles by the famous communist and favored son of the International Socialist party, Howard Zinn? Do you see anything in this syllabus that promotes the idea that our form of government allows freedom and prosperity and is good for humans? Or do you see material heavily weighted to promote the communist view point? Think now.....
