College Board History Ed Wars Continue

Colo. Ed Board Member: Give U.S. Credit For Voluntarily Ending Slavery from Talking Points Memo
"A member of Colorado's state Board of Education argued that the fact that the United States voluntarily ended slavery proved "American execptionalism" and this perspective should be taught to students in a recent Facebook post about the AP U.S. History curriculum."
This is such a breath-takingly stupid statement, one can only shake one's head.  Maybe it will come as news to her that the south did not give up slavery "voluntarily." What do you DO with something like this!?  This person has no business being on an state education board.
