      Imagine thinking a degree of appropriate “patriotism” is the bar history pedagogy should hinge on, mischaracterize the state of said pedagogy, and then think you have any leg to stand on regarding accuracy…True 🤡 behavior

      I said nothing about what bar history pedagogy should hinge on. I said Jeet's description of the persistence of Dunning-style history in American classrooms seemed wrong, which it was.

      I am not a curriculum specialist, and I’m just taking a guess that neither are you. I can tell you that I have seen texts used in classrooms within the last 10 years that include that very kind of white wash. Maybe not to the extreme if you’re thinking of but it’s there.

      The fact that it wasn’t in Noah’s classroom, or in your classroom, or in your kids classrooms, is not the point. The point is that it is still taught in places, and the ONLY way I’ve ever seen CRT influence k12 is to help teachers understand that better.

      No one in this thread has shown any evidence that Dunning-style history actually is taught in places today.

      Replying to @JamesSurowiecki @Twinks4Tacos and

      No one has shown any evidence either because it’s a Twitter argument about the nationwide state of curriculum. It started with an economist doing the standard economist thing of declaring that specialists in other fields are wrong about their specialties but he’s right.

      Not for me, it didn't. It started with Jeet making an evidenceless assertion about what American kids were taught. That's what I was responding to.

      Just look up thread, bro. Try doing the reading for once. You can’t jump in in the middle of a conversation and declare that the origin point

      Or rather, I guess you can, since you just did, but we’re just going to think you’re a jerk for doing it.

      Looking upthread would not have made Jeet's inaccurate statement any more accurate.

      Maybe you think this is an adequate way to teach the 1870s in America, but I don't. It's not how I would do it.pic.twitter.com/qxNbZ3DOVA

          I’ll again place this here. Where’s the systematic evaluation of how race, class, etc, are taught in US schools around the country? From what I’ve experienced and seen 25+ years ago, and today (with my kid), the “patriotic” version of US history is taught.https://mobile.twitter.com/kolsaw/status/1460388955342483457 …

          In addition to this contestation over historical interpretation between "left," "right," and "center" ideologies, I'd like to see some rigor in what is actually being taught in US schools regarding US history and social studies? Where's the data and empiricism? What's taught?
