The professor fails readers by spreading an inaccurate and propagandist definition of a term.

He claims: "U.S. exceptionalism is the covering-law theory that assumes the United States, different from all other countries, can do no wrong".

Hello? What dark space did you pull that nonsense out of, professor?

To the contrary, to adopt the term "American exceptionalism" is simply to take the view that America has a distinct approach from most other countries, it makes no laughable claim that America "can do no wrong" (roll eyes).

Indeed, and 180 degrees away from the nonsense spouted by the Toronto professor, critics publishing in academics often target the concept of "American exceptionalism" on the grounds that it FAILS to mean "normatively superior", that in an objective sense it is merely consistent with the obvious fact that "all nations are different".
