Lor —— Forwarded message follows From. "Matt Hills" To: Brian Yates" , Copies to: Subject: Curriculum Date sent: Sun, 8 Jul 2012 22:27:12 -0400 Brian (copy to Claire), | want to quickly follow-up on the voicemail and email that | left for you Thursday. Feel free to call me if you'd like to talk about this more (my home is 617-630-9862 and my office is 617-330-7743). We have spoken to David about questions regarding the "controversy" surrounding the history class in the high schools. This was an issue dealt with early last fall and has long since ceased to be a concem for almost every person who has weighed in on the issue. As a matter of policy (which is why Claire and | spoke to David about curriculum requests), we have asked David and the NPS team not to collect and disseminate curriculum information for this or any other course other than to the extent itis normally distributed to students. We do not fee! there is any policy issue involved (ie a systematically biased curriculum) and will not start down a path that could poliicize curriculum decisions. In any event, there is a FOIA request outstanding that, if pursued, will lead to the NPS compiling certain curriculum information. Given the policy issue and given the FOIA request, we have asked David to avoid compiling and distributing curriculum for this or any course, including the request that you sent to him. 7912
