Current Issues within the U.S. History Curricula

Abstract

North Carolina recently implemented new social studies standards for each content area. However, there has been some controversy over whether the standards truly represent U.S. History and racial equity. However, opponents argue that this makes the U.S. History too political and includes topics that are too sensitive for students. As the population of the United States increases in diversity, it is essential that students are exposed to diverse perspective within their history lessons.
