If you are really concerned about fitting all of American (and world) history into a kindergarten class, you should call her teacher or the principal before you bother the school board (who does not necessarily determine the curriculum).

This approach is taken in order gear our youth for the “culture wars” which unfortunately dominate public debate, cable news, congressional hearings and ultimately exhaust time in the class room formerly reserved for Washington’s warnings of “foreign entanglements” and Lincoln request to find “the better angels of our nature”.

It is not done maliciously nor is it intended to brainwash or tilt one race against another. However, the effects of limiting time and discussion of our nation’s founders has had a eroding effect of our national identity, our principles and our civil rights.

I think students should go from the beginning of history to the present day. It makes more sense to me.
