How sad and true.
I took American History in college. I can't tell you
much about it, but I remember the guy driving the point
that the founding fathers were deists or athiests. That
was the first day. The rest of the semester we studied
Early american architecture.
I felt ripped off because I was really interested in American History, which is why I took the class. I only
took 3 semesters worth of this kind of crap. Then I dropped out because of it.
They don't teach at colleges anymore. They want to make a bunch of 'little-me's.
I majored in history and I heard the same thing from some of the instructors. I think that few if any of the founding fathers were athiests. Jefferson wrote his own bible, but few teach that.
I don't know what is taught at Weber State University(Ogden, UT)now; but years ago I took a class called: "Era of the American Revolution". It was quite good, and extensive. One of the textbooks was a condension of "George Washington, An indispensible Man"(I think that's what it was titled!)by Thomas Flexner. It was incidentaly, one of biggest sources for that miniseries that came out many years ago, with Barry Bostwick.
I remember, because he came out at the end, and described the books and other sources used for the show. I was tickled about that; because I still had that book!

What college or university was that? Sounds like that prof should be sent packing.
