Ben Carson: AP History will make students join ISIS

Dr. Ben Carson speaking at the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland.


Fox News commentator and likely 2016 presidential also-ran Ben Carson is joining the chorus of far-right howling against the College Board's new Advanced Placement U.S. History framework. Carson is even one-upping the conservative members of the Jefferson County, Colorado, school board who've threatened to substitute a curriculum that stresses respect for authority and capitalism. Carson, though, is taking the rhetoric up a notch:
"There's only two paragraphs in there about George Washington ... little or nothing about Martin Luther King, a whole section on slavery and how evil we are, a whole section on Japanese internment camps and how we slaughtered millions of Japanese with our bombs," Carson said at the event. He continued, "I think most people when they finish that course, they'd be ready to go sign up for ISIS ... We have got to stop this silliness crucifying ourselves."
to me that sounds like republican number one token is saying to tell students the truth and this is not the greatest country in the world and that we should lie to them as suggested in their curriculum change to not teach freedom of speech, civil disobedience and in right wing speak sit down, shut the f... up, and don't ask questions.  that sounds of tyranny and the kinghood they accuse Pres. of, this is what I meant by they accuse from references of their own actions.  all this truth is just too much and they'll run into the arms of ISIS.
wasn't this the same token who told the people that ObamaCares was worse ting since slavery? there goes any credibility he might have had.
