In the resolution, the RNC slams the College Board's "radically revisionist view of American history that emphasizes negative aspects of our nation's history while omitting or minimizing positive aspects."

The committee takes issue with the course's minimal coverage of of the Founding Fathers and decision to exclude information on U.S. military commanders and battles. The RNC also claims that the College Board presents a "biased and inaccurate view" of events like the motivations of the 17th century American settlers and U.S. involvement in World War II.

The RNC demanded that the College Board delay the new course framework by at least a year and draw up a new plan. They are also asking Congress to investigate the course.

Police in Ferguson, Missouri, once charged a man with destruction of property for bleeding on their uniforms while four of them allegedly beat him.

“On and/or about the 20th day of Sept. 20, 2009 at or near 222 S. Florissant within the corporate limits of Ferguson, Missouri, the above named defendant did then and there unlawfully commit the offense of ‘property damage’ to wit did transfer blood to the uniform,” reads the charge sheet.

The address is the headquarters of the Ferguson Police Department, where a 52-year-old welder named Henry Davis was taken in the predawn hours on that date. He had been arrested for an outstanding warrant that proved to actually be for another man of the same surname, but a different middle name and Social Security number.
