Is This AP Test Really Too Liberal For Oklahoma?

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.

like around the second question, that this test is bullshit. It can't be the real test.

I'm happy if the citizens of Oklahoma dive into a deeper pool of confusion than the one they're already in.

Better to keep them ignorant. Easier to corral them later on.
