See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.

Advanced Placement U.S. History Curriculum Framework

Advanced Placement college-level classes in various subjects are offered to the brightest high school students. If they do well on the exams, students receive college credit, which grants them a head start in their college careers at a cost savings.

Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) in partnership with American Principles in Action hosted a nationwide conference call concerning the rollout of the new APUSH Curriculum Framework and exam.

Tanya Ditty, CWALAC of Georgia State Director and former AP U.S. History teacher, made this statement concerning the new Framework, “When I first read the new APUSH Framework, I didn’t even recognize it as American history standards. From this Framework, I didn’t recognize it as my country.”

Here is a sampling of what our nation’s brightest high-school students can expect:

  • A relentlessly negative view of American history, which emphasizes every problem and failing of our ancestors while ignoring or minimizing their achievements.

  • Almost total silence about the Founding Fathers, including no mention of Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and Adams, and almost none of the Declaration of Independence.

  • Omission of military history, battles, commanders, and heroes.

  • A biased and inaccurate view of many important facets of American history, including the motivation and actions of 17th through 19th-century settlers, American involvement in World War II, and the conduct of and victory in the Cold War.
