what's wrong with teaching kids about American exceptionalism??Probably people who have no clue where this concept came from wouldonly object to it..
American exceptionalism refers to the theory that the United States occupies a special niche among the nations of the world in terms of its national credo, historical evolution, political and religious institutions and unique origins. The roots of the belief are attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville,who claimed that the then-50-year-old United States held a special place among nations, because it was a country of immigrants and the first modern democracy.
A Frenchman, not a patriotic cowboy, made that observation..something to think about..
