The closest thing to geography that I could find in his syllabus is "cultural landscape".........whatever THAT is.
Yes, because those liberal wimps at NPR only have two conservatives per liberal guest, when anyone knows that liberals can win against 2 to 1 odds, easy.
It's a shame there's no countering point of view from the heritage foundation, the Wall Street Journal, or the P.N.A.C. to help balance out those places where the conservatives only have a 2 to 1 advantage, because . . oh, wait, they're listed? and Wikipedia shows many of these other institutions are . . . centrist? almost as if they didn't have a specific agenda?
Wow - NPR, the BBC, and the Times versus the Journal, PNAC, and the Heritage foundation, with the Brookings intitution to ref. A balanced debate - almost exactly 1 to 1.
Unfair - A horrendous advantage to the Liberals!

Of course not - there is of course no connection between geography, and any desire to understand a culture, or politics, or history, or anything slightly political.
In which case, one has to ask - why are we bothering to teach the geography, if it's completely disconnected from anything important? If geography is nothing but the location of the country, it's a lot cheaper to reference the CIA worldbook, Google Maps, or Worldwind than to go to all the effort of, y'know, teaching a course.

Ergo, in geography there are no 'balanced viewpoints', only facts - "A" is here and "B" is there -- period.
In the late 60's, college geographers produced the High school geography project in an effort to upgrade the content of secondary classes. It introduced concepts that would be used in marketing and regional planning. Place geography can be mastered in elementary school. In the fifties we had a book for each continent and did one a year. Later, I taught geography in high school and college based on what I learned in grammar school.
"Child abuse" nails it. The man's a bully.
Thank you for sharing this data with me. Yep, no bias in Bennish, not. lol.
