All week, people have made a fuss over Oklahoma's horrified reaction to Advanced Placement's revised history test. They said it's unpatriotic -- and red states in general freaked out about it.
Is the AP test really unpatriotic? Is it going to brainwash kids into buying into a liberal agenda more effectively than Texas schoolbooks brainwash kids into the conservative view of things?
We found a copy and it seems completely reasonable. No liberal bias, as the ruckus makers claim.
Take it for yourself and see if the hoopla is warranted.
