Schools focus on America's flaws, report says*** "It's important that students understand not only our flaws and failings, but also the degree to which the United States was really the first modern democracy and the degree to which it has inspired democrats around the world," Mr. Diamond said. "It's a call for balance; it's not a call for purging from the history books honest criticism of our failings."

The report calls for a stronger history and social studies curricula, starting in elementary school and continuing through all years of schooling. It also suggests a bigger push for morality in education lessons.

"The basic ideas of liberty, equality, and justice, of civil, political and economic rights and obligations, are all assertions of right and wrong, of moral values," the report says. "The authors of the American testament had no trouble distinguishing moral education from religious instruction, and neither should we."***

The liberals are writing articles and columns to deceive us about what the Academic Bill of Rights is about.

It is about ending the politicization of the hiring process at universities. It's about ending harrassment of professors and students and speakers who hold conservative views.

It is NOT about affirmative action for conservative professors.

I like Horowitz. I love it when he exposes hypocrisy and logical inconsistencies of those on the left. He them look like absolute buffoons, by delightfully using their on logic against them e.g. what do you mean we can have diversity in the faculty?

When "Liberalism" becomes unfashionable, professors will abandon it. That's about the depth of their idealism.

A study commissioned by the center at the University of Colorado at Boulder last year found that 94 percent of the faculty were Democrats.

This is where I went to school. It took me many years to realize that the Keynesian economics they were teaching was pseudo-science.
