In this country and the principles we were founded upon, the states and people rightfully should have the power to control themselves and their own policies under their own individual legislatures. We should be focusing on strengthening the Articles of Confederation, a more democratic outlook on government. Under this new proposed constitution, the government will feel entitled to interfere in amendments and lawmaking which will mark the end of the popular government. The people will be subject to a controlling monarchy again; the days of the states will diminish under a newly created central government with renewed enumerated powers that were formally in the hands of the states. The states lose powers such as taxing, military and lawmaking. Under this government, a standing army will be made to enforce the executive orders against the differing opinions of the land, which will cause conflict. Local legislatures will lose the privilege of a militia to protect the laws that they voted to have. Instead, the national body hundreds of miles away will make decisions for all the land, with their laws trumping that of the majorities of state legislatures. Because of the decreased amount of majority vote in a national government, good laws will constantly be in gridlock because of the differing opinions.

The point here that Trump is making is that the current curriculum has elaborated on the same race-related topics from a wide range of the entire average grade school career. The problem is not necessarily that we are only being taught race-related situations, it's that the curriculum constantly emphasizes the same events year after year. In my view, it wouldn't be a problem if all the topics stated in your claim were actually taught, but the reality is that we have legitimately been taught "I have a dream" too much for it to be appropriate. What I want as a student is to learn the wide variety of events and understand ALL of our history to a full capacity. Our current curriculum has not and will not accomplish that need

From my understanding, president Trump’s claim is true. From as far as I can remember, critical analysis of anything in an English or history class has been based around something by an abolitionist or a civil rights activist. Not that it’s wrong but I can tell you nothing about the Spanish American War because it hasn’t been imprinted in my brain. I can tell you nothing about the War of 1812 because I’ve probably gone over once in all my years of school. I can tell you the bare minimum of our first world conflict because the bare minimum is all I’ve had to know. And at the same time, I can’t tell you how many of my English classes in the past have given me a copy of the “I have a dream speech” by Martin Luther King Jr. given during his famous march on Washington in the year 1963 for us to annotate and analyze the aesthetic and purpose of this monumental movement in our history. Trump is not wrong, and it’s hypocritical to say that his curriculum is an attempt at suppressing our history, because all I’ve ever been taught is a suppression of everything in comparison to the greatest imperfection of our country.
