Georgia Senate Resolution Condemns 'Revisionist' AP U.S. History Course

TPM reports:

Georgia state senators this week introduced a resolution condemning the revised Advanced Placement U.S. History framework and demanding that the College Board return to the old test.

Since the College Board released its revised framework for the course in October 2012, backlash has grown into a conservative movement. After the Republican National Committee adopted a resolution denouncing the new framework and its "its "consistently negative view of American history" in August, numerous states have followed suit.

The Georgia senate became the latest legislature to take action against the revised exam, according to the Gainseville Times.

The resolution, sponsored by Republican state Sen. William Ligon (pictured above), describes the new APUSH exam as "a radically revisionist view of American history that emphasizes negative aspects of our nation’s history while omitting or minimizing positive aspects."

Maybe, the U.S. Congress should look into this and hold hearings.
