I Have Some Questions for the New Florida U.S. History Curriculum

Florida continues to Florida. Dissatisfied with the AP U.S. History curriculum (too woke), the state is trying to provide—as Kellyanne Conway used to say—alternative facts.I have some authority to speak on this issue because I wrote an entire book of bad, inaccurate AP U.S. History, so I know the kind of work that goes into this sort of thing.

I believe John McNaughton painted this. b. Samuel Alito was there and saw it all, and he was so excited that he rushed outside to hang his flag—upside up this time.6) Discuss slave
