The practice of states revising standards for how their schools teach history is developing a storied and often contentious history of its own. A University of Kansas scholar has published new research arguing that history standards are prone to overt politicization, and that the best examples of how to handle history education are in states that practice "standards minimalism." The paper is published in the Journal of American History.
