A just government was thus insti- tuted to guard against arbitrary and tyrannical GALLERY abuses of these rights by individuals and gov- ernmental power itself. Therefore, at the heart of the Declaration is a resolution of monumental importance, one whose study our continued freedom depends on. However, such a study has become easily avoidable, as has the serious study of the Con- stitution as well. And unfortunately, this is even the case in Texas. In Texas public high schools, if you don’t take the Advanced Placement United States Histo- ry class as a junior, you only learn U.S. histo- ry from 1877. The 11th grade actually picks up from where the eighth grade leaves off, when U.S. history from the “early colonial period through Reconstruction” is taught, according to the Texas Administrative Code of the Texas Es- sential Knowledge and Skills for social studies. This situation is not affected by the recent changes by the State Board of Education to these standards. The changes dealt largely with which individuals would be studied and what terms would be used, and did not adjust the overall historical period addressed in specific grade levels, according to TEKS Watch, a guide to the curriculum reforms. Furthermore, it’s possible for University stu- dents to fulfill the core U.S. history requirements by focusing on specific topics in U.S. history such as U.S. ethnic histories, a number of upper-di- vision courses ranging from the history of Tex- as, U.S. economics, pop culture and many other engaging subjects. I do not doubt that all of the courses on these topics are valuable and excellent ones that teach our national history, however, they presumably don’t cover the foundation. The University does offer a full history of the United States in the span of two semesters — “1492-1865,” and “U.S. since 1865,” which to- gether fulfill the core requirement, and offer- ings in the course catalogue suggest this com- bination to be the more popular choice. Addi- tionally, the requirements for American govern- ment ensure students will study the founding Resting in transition, life in suspension documents in some way.
