The College Board, whose products are sold in almost every American high school, is developing curricula modeled on colleges\u2019 identity politics departments such as gender and racial studies, the documents show. <\/p>\n<p>A draft Kurtz obtained of College Board\u2019s forthcoming Advanced Placement African American Studies (APAAS) course shows, he writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>APAAS clearly proselytizes for a socialist transformation of the United States, although its socialism is heavily inflected by attention to race and ethnicity. \u2026 <\/p>\n<p>The topic descriptions sound neutral, but the readings almost uniformly consist of neo-Marxist agitation \u2014 pleas for a socialist transformation of America, inspired by African Americans and infused with their cultural style. APAAS\u2019s \u2018debates,\u2019 such as they are, explore precisely what sort of leftist radical you should be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The College Board already helps gatekeep American student\u2019s access to higher education with its SAT college entrance exam. After College Board hired one of the \u201carchitects\u201d of Common Core as its president, the nonprofit overhauled its SAT exam to fit Common Core, after which the SAT\u2019s market share of the college entrance exam market declined. <\/p>\n<p>College Board also licenses to both public and private schools advanced courses that offer students dual credit, for both high school and college, called Advanced Placement. These help secure the private organization major influence over what the United States\u2019s most promising high school students learn and more than $1 billion in annual revenue that comes in large part from American taxpayers. <\/p>\n<p>Under Common Core architect David Coleman, College Board also revamped its existing history classes, which are often the last history class America\u2019s college-educated citizens ever take. The revised Advanced Placement courses were infused with identity politics and anti-American and anti-Western readings of history, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nas.org\/topics\/study-curriculum\/reports\">found<\/a> independent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nas.org\/reports\/disfigured-history\">reviews <\/a>by academics assembled by the National Association of Scholars.<\/p>\n<p>Kurtz finds that at least one of the five writers of College Board\u2019s forthcoming African American studies class for high schoolers is an open Marxist sympathizer and proselytizer who \u2018bemoans the false objectivity of historians whose writings \u201crarely target capitalism for condemnation and destruction.&#8217;\u201d <\/p>\n<p>At National Review, Kurtz explores in-depth the draft curriculum\u2019s structure and selections that promote political violence and hatred for the American system, which are presented approvingly instead of as representative of the dangers of Marxist ideology. As Kurtz notes, such a curriculum clearly would violate new state laws against state-sponsored promulgation of critical race theory. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no wonder, then, that polls and studies <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/02\/27\/dear-joe-scarborough-more-americans-hate-america-than-you-think\/\">consistently find<\/a> that the youngest Americans and those with the most exposure to politically corrupted education institutions are the most anti-American and most supportive of Marxist permutations, including socialism and identity politics. This is an existential crisis for a country built on citizen self-governance and widespread respect for fellow citizens\u2019 inalienable natural rights, with which Marxism is at war. Certainly no country should fund hatred for its own history, citizens, and ideals, either directly or indirectly. <\/p>\n<p>As Kurtz writes, Americans who want honest history taught to the next generation must repel and replace the College Board\u2019s one-sided monopoly offerings for America\u2019s top students. That goes not only for its in-development identity politics courses but also its compromised existing oeuvre. America\u2019s kids deserve far, far better than this, and our future depends on them getting an honest education rather than an indoctrination in racial hatred, cynicism, and self-loathing.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Joy Pullmann is executive editor of The Federalist, a happy wife, and the mother of six children. <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/iX1dsZnedpJjPMoP7\">Sign up here to get early access<\/a> to her next ebook, &#8220;101 Strategies For Living Well Amid Inflation.&#8221; Her bestselling ebook is &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/payhip.com\/b\/R1JL\">Classic Books for Young Children<\/a>.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Pullmann identifies as native American and gender natural.
