Erasing 100 Years Of US History

South Dakota educators intend to erase the first 100 years of US history:

Students in South Dakota will now graduate from high school without studying early American history, under new teaching guidelines adopted by the state.

After a year of deliberations, the state Board of Education adopted new curriculum standards that no longer require instructors to teach the first 100 years of U.S. history. Such milestone events and developments as the Revolutionary War and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution could be completely ignored.

Does this mean their version of US history begins with "Custer's Last Stand", which took place on June 25-26, 1876?

It was Custer's 1874 expedition to the Black Hills which led to South Dakota becoming a state in 1889.
