Welcome to top-down "No Child Left Behind" education.
Washington's tests don't test in detail about much after the civil war. It's a lot of constitution, revolution, and abraham lincon.
If all your job as a teacher is based on the tests comming out of D.C. why would you even teach about Vietnam, the Internet, and Regan?
