"Name a great achievement in US history and conservatives were against it.
This isn't opinion, it's just fact, and it's the real reason why conservatives are going absolutely bonkers about the AP US history curriculum.
They're worried that if young people study real history, not the Reaganized fluff Republicans are pushing, they'll realize that conservatives have been on the wrong side of history for the past 200 plus years.
From a conservative perspective, banning AP history makes perfect sense.
Not only would doing so keep the public in the dark about what it really means to be conservative, it would also - and this is really important - make it harder for young Americans to discover the truth about this country's progressive past."
