Shaun Nielsen stands for a portrait in Sioux Park in Rapid City, S.D. Nielsen, a middle-school social studies teacher in the Rapid City Area School District, was part of a commission formed to help develop new social studies standards in South Dakota. Nielsen said before the group began its work, he got a thick packet of materials from Hillsdale College, a conservative Michigan school, that ultimately formed what the state's public schools students could be expected to learn about American history and civics.

He referred to guidelines from the American Historical Association, not the American Historical Society.
