The consultant coordinating Iowa’s social studies revamp has a long history of pushing anti-Constitution prejudices about American history.
—
Last year, Iowa’s Republican-controlled legislature and governor signed a law requiring the state to develop new history curricula for K-12 public schools. It requires the forthcoming curriculum map to be “the best in America” and “focus on United States history, western civilization, and civics.” Yet the consultant coordinating this social studies revamp has a long, public history of pushing anti-Constitution prejudices about American history.
2024’s House File 2545 requires the new Iowa K-12 social studies curriculum due at the end of this year to teach “Important historical and founding documents to the United States and the state of Iowa, including but not limited to the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and the amendments to the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and the Emancipation Proclamation.”
