My flight instructor is now insisting that he has to see and record my

knowledge this is not required for American Citizens, only foreigners.
I need only show that I am an American Citizen, but don't have to submit
to recording.

Is this true? Where can I find the actual regulation?

Its true. This is a TSA rule. I have to see your passport ---or--- B-
certificate and then either keep a copy or endorse your log that I've
seen it. If you are not a U.S. citizen I need to get TSA pre-approval
for you.
