There is legislation snaking is way through Georgia currently that will basically cancel the state's use of AP US History because it's sponsors (coastal Georgia conservative white folks) think the national test and curriculum that supports the test is too hard on slave owners and other garbage (doesn't explain the displacers point of view for native people removal; doesn't explain why employers abused workers during the industrial revolution; doesn't glorify America's military enough for why the Cold War ended...). It is almost satirical.


But also, had anyone but BHO said this, there wouldn't be two words said about it other than "uh-huh".
