Sounds to me like the College Board wants students to look at the facts given and form their own opinion, instead of regurgitating talking points that have no root in reality. If that’s the case, I understand completely why Republicans are so up in arms, That’s the exact opposite of how they like the serfs to behave.

… no longer exist in the world of dumbassery.

Conservatives don’t understand that education is what remains after one has forgotten what one learned in school. Conservatives look at education as if it were a trade school - no critical thinking required.

The cons have been against common core since it was implemented. Take a look at some of the youtube videos available, it’s ignorant fundamentalists (helped out by people like Glenn Beck) who are driving this attempted purge.

If you think Science has been deconstructed/reconstructed by the Teahdists, what they do to history is much more problematic and comical.

If Tennessee conservatives hate something, in reality it’s probably good for the country.
