if we don&#8217;t understand the principles of American government; if we don\u2019t understand what the Constitution is; then we won\u2019t be able to understand that the Constitution is potentially violated by a president who is overreaching.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Although seemingly absurd, &#8216;American history will not be about America,&#8217; he says. American exceptionalism, to left-wing ideologues, is a quaint and excessively positive notion to be discredited through re-education efforts. Leftists decry patriotism that emanates from history that touts American exceptionalism. The ideologues believe that, without proper training and re-education, Americans would exhibit excessive bias against those who are not Americans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Kurtz argues that &#8216;by undercutting the traditional American story&#8217; of understanding how the principles of liberty and equality have worked to unify citizens, progressives want to focus on oppression and hyper sensitivities of race, gender and class. This liberal orthodoxy and recreation of America\u2019s history, Kurtz warns, mean that progressives are &#8216;setting themselves up for a lot of dangerous mini-nationalisms&#8217; that cause bigotry and hatred.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A broader view of this &#8220;Fundamental Transformation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CP-qkeusioo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a reminder, here is the AP Guide:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p  style=\" margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block;\">   <a title=\"View AP Us History Course and Exam Description on Scribd\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/240106661\"  style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" >AP Us History Course and Exam Description<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/embeds\/240106661\/content?start_page=1&#038;view_mode=scroll&#038;show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_5986\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Common_Core_Soviet.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Common Core New Soviet Person\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Common_Core_Soviet.jpg 582w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Common_Core_Soviet-197x300.jpg 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1px) 100vw, 1px\" \/><br \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\"><meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PoliticHatBlog\"><meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ThePoliticalHat\"><meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"The Oppression Narrative\"><meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"The new AP guide for teaching History is nothing less than (yet another) declaration of war against the very essence of America.\"><meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Common_Core_Soviet.jpg\"><br \/>\n\/blockquote\/p<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have previously mentioned the re-write of the AP guide for History.\u00a0 The new AP guide for teaching History is nothing less than (yet another) declaration of war against the very essence of America. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Elizabeth Price Foley over at Instapundit &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/2015\/05\/12\/the-oppression-narrative\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,17],"tags":[41,55,46,24,48],"class_list":["post-9045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-progressives","tag-2nd-amendment","tag-gender","tag-kyriarchy","tag-leviathan","tag-social-justice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9045"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9063,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9045\/revisions\/9063"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
