High school kids who study American history today have to cover 50 more years than I had to cover. Something has to be left out. Just saying.

[Right Wing Assault]

No! Insanity!!

Are biology, anatomy, and chemistry required in pre-med? I don't want to know.

You left out Sub-Saharan Homoerotic Dance and Literature. Shame on you. That’s a terrific resume enhancer for the Womyns Studies majors.

[LeoWindhorse]

so glad I DO NOT have a college education ...

[JBW1949]

OUCH!!!! I missed that one....

[VermithraxPejorative]

They don’t deserve George Washington’s name.

It’s more like removing algebra instruction from Algebra 1. Or removing English instruction from English 1. Or saying islam isn’t responsible for Islamic atrocities.

[Jeff Vader]

More like george sorros university

What’s next?; eliminating math courses for Engineering degrees?

I think they will eliminate all relevant courses from all degrees. You will just come to college, tell them what you want a degree and then sit 4 years of courses that focus on white privilege, race baiting, vagina studies, socialism, LGBT, Islam, and hate America studies.

With employment being based on competency shown on computer-administered certificate testing, such as prometric.

If the university was teaching politically correct history of USA, then this move by the university is good.

In my experience, it’s difficult to relearn something correctly after you’ve first unquestioningly accepted a politically correct explanation.

The left won academia long ago. I don’t know what it would take to turn this around, if anything could.

[LouAvul]

You forgot that your hypothetical student went to school in the People's Sewer of Kalifornia and completed 12 years of sex education wherein they learned how to properly apply a condom in preparation of homosexual perversion.

That always looks good on a resume.

[Mollypitcher1]

Baloney! High school kids are taught American History started with the Civil War and the southern states were/are the bad guys.

[Pride in the USA]

Outrageous!

[Paleo Conservative]

No student loans for undergraduate schools that don’t have a US History requirement.

[ought-six]

Madness.

[Rebelbase]

George Mason ought to follow through and change their name.

[Rebelbase]

Oops, George Washington, not Mason!
