Want to know the quickest way to ensure the nation’s youth grow up to be a collection of unthinking, ignorant drone-slave adults? Just ask South Dakota’s Board of Education. They’ve got it down to a science.
From Argus Leader:
History teachers across South Dakota will be working with a new set of classroom guidelines after a Monday decision to approve social studies standards.
College professors balked at the new benchmarks because there isn’t a requirement for teaching early American history at the high school level.
In spite of protests, the state Board of Education agreed to overhaul the standards after an almost yearlong public hearing process. There is no requirement for teaching the first 100 years of the nation’s history, including the Revolutionary War and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, but the rewritten standards do give teachers a choice.
