In your own words, how does too much emphasis on American exceptionalism hinder our understanding of American history?
Sounds like the teacher has already made up his/her mind that American exceptionalism has hindered our understanding of American history.
I told me daughter to say that we don't have enough emphasis on American exceptionalism.
The schools, K through post graduate I assume, need to be ridden of all these liberal Marxists.
We do need to get rid of them
However, can you recall a time in your life you heard communist bullshit and didn't call them out?
Yes, you can. And that's why things are where they are. We didn't shut them up, now those of us who aren't obese are going to be forced into conflict with them within 10 years.
The communist revolution isn't being stopped.
