The AP US History Controversy

The AP US History Controversy
Larry Krieger is concerned with the new AP US History (APUSH) curriculum--in effect fall 2014, as put forth in the College Board’s new framework. His first concern, which he opined in a recent Orange County Register column, is that the APUSH framework does not align with the California History Social Science (CHSS) framework (nor frameworks from other states such as Texas and Alabama), meaning, in his opinion, the College Board is undermining how US History will be taught.
