End it with Obama's inauguration.
When I took American history in HS in 1972-76, they quit before the Korean War, and explained that various parents were irate how the war was presented in history books.
There was a class called "Contemporary History" which studiously refused to say anything about Vietnam and civil rights.
It was treated as some kind of mysterious anomaly that Nixon lost the election in '60 then won in '68.
