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.
I guess I should have been more specific. By liberals I meant the new form of liberals, the ones who support paying people not to work, the "occupy" people, antifa, blm, etc. I think Marx would support those groups as, I think, he was against capitalism and thought the only value someone could provide was from their labor.
