Nope they skip the American Revolution and colonial America. You see, America is bad because we have colonized other countries. If they teach the kids America used to be a colony herself and became independent and thrived, then the kids might not think we're so bad.

Hedgetrimmer,
Check the course title.
This is not a standard U.S. History course, but one on American politics and society in the Twentieth Century.
Judging from the content it could even be an Advanced Placement course.
A "good" teacher could make this a very interesting and valuable educational experience for a high-schooler.
I had to learn most of the things covered in this course on my own as an adult.
Sure, a teacher with an agenda could turn it into a propaganda exercise, but there's no clear evinence of that in the syllabus. If Maui has evidence of that , then he could have posted it.
