Unpatriotic! ‘America250’ At UPenn Ignores America’s Founding According to conservative Analysts Conservative analysts contend that the University of Pennsylvania’s ‘America 250’ courses, meant to celebrate the nation’s semiquincentennial, largely ignore foundational American history, key figures like George Washington, and core documents such as the Bill of Rights. Instead, the courses reportedly emphasize topics like slavery and immigration, with some barely referencing the United States. Experts suggest this reflects a hostility towards America’s founding and a lack of qualified professors to teach the subject matter accurately.
