The College Board owns the S.A.T. and various A.P. tests, by which your little snowflakes compete for (some) college admissions. (ACT is the alternative.)
College Board has decided that their AP History test will be....ahhhh.....distinctly Zinnian.
(Perhaps it's merely co-incidence that the College Board CEO had a lot of input into Common Core. Then again, maybe it is NOT co-incidence.)
Anyhow, a historian, Radosh, takes on the AP History section from 1900-present. Worth the read.

Um, no. The new framework is just that, a framework. Teachers of APUSH will continue to offer conservative -and- liberal sources--like they have been doing!--for their students to analyze. The sources used in the AP test run the gamut--a political cartoon opposing LBJ's Great Society programs to a quotation opposing the government investigations of suspected communists in the 1950's. You are completely talking out of your ass.
Nope. I'm referring to the text of the linked material.
Now that you've id'd yourself as an expert on HS history teaching, we'll keep that in mind, too.
What you don't know about American History could fill a library.
Get help, Daddio.
Truly cutting, John. I fear your intellect. yah.
