I would only agree with "exceptionalism" in school curriculums is they will say is an equivalent of working your butt off exceptionally hard:-) . Otherwise all it is is pseudo-patriotic propaganda. Almost like "velikij i moguchij". Baloney. Kids should be taught to be proud of their country's history, but right now, please increase our math and science standards - it's a lot more important.
