American Exceptionalism
RUSH: “The question of whether high school students should be taught that America’s status is ‘exceptional’ compared with other nations dominated debate Monday over the redesigned Advanced Placement U.S. History course. Larry Krieger, a retired history teacher and national activist, urged the State Board of Education to demand that the College Board revise the AP U.S. History course because its 70-page framework omits the mention of ‘American exceptionalism’ that was in previous guidelines.” This guy wants it put back in. “Instead of teaching that America is ‘a force for good in the world’ and stands for democracy and freedom, Krieger said, the new course is designed to promote a globalist perspective,” and basically teach what Obama runs around saying (imitating Obama), “Well, there’s no difference. Ours is just a nation in the world. I’m sure they think they’re exceptional in Belgium. And I’m sure they think they’re exceptional in Great Britain. We have no right to say we’re exceptional. We’re no better than anybody else,” which totally distorts the meaning of American exceptionalism. They’re trying to take the whole concept of American exceptionalism out of the advanced placement history curriculum all through North Carolina.
