They were probably just being polite, we are taught to handle assholes in that fashion.

(they also probably keyed your car in the parking lot)

Umm, have we lost the point here?

I find it singurlarly amusing that the author suggests that liberals want to teach students to analyze rather than recite facts.

1. If students were taught to analyze the liberals would dissapear after one generation;
2. The current "fact gathering" posited by the author is not taking place. Look at the recent National Geographic test where US students were 2nd to the last (to Mexico, no less!) or any given "Jaywalking" segment on Leno (every time I see of those it scares the bejeezus out of me!)

I also find it interesting that multiculturalism is being hoisted on its own petard. Remember: Multiculturalism says that who you are is based on your group identity, not what you do. It is impossible to suggest such a thing as "analytical multiculturalism" since, as the article itself states, virtually no culture could survive an unbiased examination unscathed. And multiculturalism says thay all cultures (except male WASPs?) are inherently good. This liberal rant is basically saying: "OMG, they are using our weapons against us, the sky is falling, the sky is falling! No, wait! If we just suggest THINKING then those weapons are useless."

True, but then they become useless to the liberals as well.
