Rick Hess adds his concerns about the new AP US History course

Rick Hess is a regular blogger for Education Week, and his “Straight Up” blog there gets lots of attention.

So, we surfed right on over when BIPPS reader Prof. Gary Houchens alerted us that Hess had posted a new, rather long blog with his reactions to the new APUSH course, as lots of writers now call the AP US History course.

Hess offers a very interesting read, and you can click here to see why he can now be added to the list of people expressing “cause for concern” about the new APUSH curriculum. As a former high school social studies teacher, Hess’ comments are particularly important.
