Colorado Student Protest http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/colorado-students-protest-proposed-curriculum-changes/

I disagree with the proposal made by school boards around the country. The school board wants to change the curriculum of AP U.S. History by changing the facts that are being taught in schools. It is felt as though the U.S. was made out to be an aggressive society that started out religious bigotry, racial inequality and discrimination against women's rights.  Schools feel as though these facts are not needed to be taught and feel as though citizenship, patriotism and other positive ideas about the United States would help students think more critically on essays and tests. In retaliation, Colorado students decided to protest against these proposed changes and claimed that such changes are "unbiased" and "against basic constitutional rights."
    for most kids, school is a place where they find themselves and discover their true passions for the future. By changing the curriculum, more students lose the able to free think about issues that occurred in the past history of the United States and be limited to just factual information the U.S. wants students to learn. In a way this can be considered manipulation because the U.S. wants people to know what the government wants them to know, and not allow people to truly think and imagine what life was like.
     During the protests, students chanted "my school, my voice," to voice their oppinion about the way they want to earn their education. They want to take U.S. history to stay the same, and feel like changing the curriculum will make students lose interest in some aspects of history.
