Advanced placement US History is a vigorous course that spans from the first settlement of our great nation in 1607 to present day 2015 current events. When it comes to America one may stumble across quite a bit of flaws in the making of this great nation, such as the Trail of Tears, slave-holding, the KKK, and the countless government scandals. But is all of that really enough to make Americans hate America? Well lawmakers in Oklahoma believe so. One guy in particular, Dan Fisher, is keen on rewriting the current curriculum to be more "Pro-American". By adding in some speeches made by Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush Fisher hopes the republican pride will satisfy our "lack" of national pride. However it did seem convenient to leave out Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter who happened to be the last three democratic presidents and have also made a large contribution to American History. So are Oklahoma lawmakers going to pass the bill or not? Because if this grows beyond just one state, your children could be reading about it their history books.
