What is going on in North Carolina that kids aren’t being taught dates as part of history class. I live in a blue state and we still do that.
AOC syndrome going on here - ie. if their tits were brains they would be geniuses. Unfortunately they are not.
You better take a close look at the national Common Core curriculum for Social Studies and History. Foundational is the focus on dates are not important.
Watch this video. People can't even answer who won the civil war. These are the idiots that are voting. Pure democracy is so awesome.
A week ago I heard Neil Cavuto interviewing Mike Dunleavy the governor of Alaska. Neil says "Alaska is a beautiful state and is so big that that it could fit inside the whole country." Wayyy to go Neil. Actually it is already inside the country. He meant inside the lower 48, nevertheless they are a little sensitive on that point. Be interesting to interview the Canadians. 95% could probably tell you who the first president of the the United States was, but none could tell you who the first Prime Minister of Canada was. Certainly not the fake Canadians here. That's why they have google.
These Harvard student are shown a picture of Franklin and have no idea who he is. I bet if you asked them what are Benjamins they would know instantly.

I live in liberal paradise and I don’t know what you’re talking about. I tried googling common core history and dates and nothing came up besides a right wing nonsense article in real clear opinion. If anyone would be doing this stuff it’s where I live and I don’t see it. I know my oldest is learning dates in history.
First of all --- we need to use the proper terminology -- the subject is "Social Studies" now. "History" is a term of the past. The best explanation I have found in a short search is in Ed Week. See the section with the bolded - "Rather than memorizing names and dates". ============================================================================ The Common Core Standards in social studies include a focus on social studies skills rather than focusing on the Jeopardy-like social studies classrooms of the past where students memorized dates and names. The new standards place a special emphasis on students understanding a variety of perspectives when studying various time periods throughout history. In addition, the Common Core Standards require students to gather evidence to support claims throughout history, and in doing so create their own understanding of the world. This approach is very much in line with the ELA Common Core Standards and even the Next Generation Science Standards. The Common Core Standards in social studies mean that students investigate people, places and historical events, gather evidence from primary source documents, and construct their own knowledge about the past, based on their findings. In doing this, students learn to source documents - becoming detectives searching for history, rather than students who simply consume one version or story about history. Under the Common Core Standards, a social studies classroom will look more like a collaborative space, where students might be debating about what they see in a historical image, or evaluating the words in a letter written by a WWI soldier. Rather than memorizing names and dates, students are now searching for reputable sources of information online to gather evidence about what actually happened during specific time periods and understanding the various sides to our world’s ongoing story. In short, students are interacting with information rather than simply consuming it. When students have a question about history, under the Common Core Standards, they should no longer feel that the teacher is the only person who holds the answer--they are now encouraged to search for the information, locate reputable sources, understand the information in context, and share their findings with their peers. The Common Core Standards in the history classroom also mean that students are writing and reading differently than in the past. Rather than writing a research paper about a historical topic, students might be asked to investigate the perspective of various people and write about those perspectives, supporting their writing with evidence from primary source documents. When students read about history, they read with a purpose (to answer a question, or locate evidence). Finally, students in Common Core social studies classrooms are now being asked to investigate a topic within a time period and create something that shows what they have learned - whether it is a piece of writing, a video clip, or an interactive image using various technologies. https://www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...ies-looks-like-the-work-of-historians/2016/10
