"Multiculturalist history", "suppression history"......no matter what name it goes by, is nothing but a written description of looking glass delusion produced by the necrotic, stench-filled corruption that passes for the brains of Leftist ideologues.

The P.C. flavor was established right off the bat when National Standards taught that calendar dates should be identified as B.C.E. (Before the Common Era) or C.E. (Common Era)

When they go out and get jobs, if I am not mistaken, this will be the standard in place. I am pretty sure this is what is in use today, not AD/BC. But I could be wrong.

Can't imagine American history class without Revere, the Wright Bros, or Edison, though.

She is sooo right! This is the garbage being shoved down the throats of students by many where I teach.

In addition, the Professor has little actual understanding of Orwell or what he believed. If I went to UCLA and had him as a prof, I would demand a refund, but then again the ones I had at Maryland were not much better.

My daughter is in college now, and confirms that they're teaching that America is a horrible country.

And this is in "Red State" Oklahoma.

Similar to the "Global Studies" replacing "World History". The effects of the Greeks and Romans on Western Civilization were trivialized and kept on an equal par to the lost civilizations of "Greater Zimbabwe" and the Mayans.

Students are getting cheated daily and are in no way being properly prepared for the "real world", unless their parents take the extra step and "fill in the blanks".

The left basically destroyed one of the finest public education systems in the world over the past 40 years, simply because it allowed the poorer classes to compete with the "Prep School" kids.

A related Story. My 12 year old niece was assigned the role of lead prosecutor in her classrooms mock trial of "Christopher Columbus - Crimes Against Humanity". This all occurred around Columbus Day of this year.

It appears that her teacher attended a Native American history conference the month preceding the trial. She thought it would be a wonderful lesson in helping her students understand history. Unfortunately she teaches English.

Needless to say my brother went nuts.

Yes they do Phyllis. And what do we do in response? Well we increase their funding by close to 50%. Ah, the sweet stench of Conservatism singed by ill fated policy.

E-mail or FAX the White House to disband the Fed. Dept. of Education. Reagan campaigned he would do it. Would that Bush could deliver on this one - FOR THE GIPPER!

Doesn't matter how much money they have. Money does not make someone a better teacher.
I think Lynne Cheney's "A is For Abigail" should be required instructional reading for teaching about women in U.S. history.

The current crop of academic professionals is determined to drop the DWEMs (Dead White European Males) down an Orwellian Memory Hole and to replace history with Multiculturalism and Oppression Studies, featuring third-rate writers who attack Western Civilization as sexist, racist, and oppressive. -Phyllis Schlafly

I'm attempting to coin a new term for the intellectual disease of inserting oppression thematics into every social analysis. I call it Post-Modern Tourette Syndrome.

Since we're talking about necrotic brains...

Walking down the halls of cacademia today..I noticed some rather gloomy faces and I overheard the words "those evangelicals" spoken in hushed, conspiratorial but anger filled tones several times.

It is not just those in academia. All liberals are motivated by hate. Look at this fund raiser thermometer DU is using.

Are they totally incapable of coming up with a positive message. They could at least bring out their old ones like "Free love" "Got my acid and my Dead tickets" "Hacky Sack Rules!"
