We mentioned the college board’s decision in an earlier post. This is the backlash.

Campus Reform reports:

    Scholars blast decision to cut 8,000 years from AP World History

    Students and scholars are up in arms over a decision to cut thousands of years from the Advanced Placement World History curriculum, with some historians fretting it will make the course too “Western-centric.”

    “The College Board wants to remove over 8,000 of those years, and start the course in 1450 CE,” declares a petition seeking to prevent the change, which had already exceeded 11,000 signatures by press time.
