AP History

[6andcounting]

The AP US History test has undergone some minor changes that conservatives have been asking for the past few years. There are a few more mentions of Founding Fathers and 'American exceptionalism' will now be mentioned once. As part of focusing less on the negative aspects of American history, 'slavery' will now only be mentioned 62 times instead of 63. I think nationalism is ********, but most of the changes seem to be making obvious improvements over previous tests. New tests will have a somewhat more broad focus, Words with strong connotations and phrases that leave too much interpretation have been eliminated.

The reactions are a shit show. Liberals think this is an attempt to revise American history and forgot slavery. Conservatives still have complaints. Most of this people are ******** and exist only to entertain us with their stupidity.
