I was glancing through a book on how to take the AP History test for my son. I mentioned to him how from the guide, it looked like the test was written by a bunch of liberals looking for liberal answers. So I told him to make sure he included blacks and women’s rights and slavery and all of that if the question could be answered that way.

He said he had one question on “an important event in the 21st century”. He answered with the women getting the vote thing. He is really bright, and knows all the facts, and can BS anything. He got an A.

In high school he had to write an essay on a “controversial subject”. He wrote about how the blacks would have been better off if slavery had continued. Surprisingly he got an A on that as well! (He did make a lot of good points, that it would have evolved over time anyway and the blacks would have been better off in the long run.) But I told him that the AP board probably would have none of that!
