From an article in today’s News & Observer,
The recent uproar over proposed changes to the history curriculum in North Carolina public schools is not a conservative-vs.-liberal issue, said N.C. State University history professor Holly Brewer.
Dr. Brewer’s Facebook group “History Did Not Begin in 1877!” now has over 1,500 members and continues to grow.
At this point, the only proponents of the curriculum change seem to be the NC Department of Public Instruction, the NC State Board of Education, and Stephen Jackson from NC Policy Watch. Dr. Jackson recently observed, “It is tough to see how students are shortchanged by the proposed changes.” Who are we to question the “experts” at NC DPI?
