I'm curious as to why you said this, I take it you think it's more widespread (rewriting history).

History departments are famous for having become extremely and radically leftist in recent years. Many of them have become severely intolerant of anything even hinting at a conservative perspective, or challenging any facet of left-wing extremist ideology.

Did you see the PBS series "Commanding Heights" ?? Seems as though left wing policies have failed everywhere. Behind every economic failure, purge, war, famine or enslavement - is a government policy or worse.

What history departments? History is no longer a required curriculum in most Universities, and it is sorely lacking in reality in lower school levels. It is pick and choose by the instructor, developing an army of little leftists.

You're right, as evidenced by the hysteria in academia over Thomas Dilorenzo's book on Lincoln. FR's resident marxist "academics" are having seizures over it as we speak. Lincoln is the one republican hero of thousands of democrat communists in academia and no criticism of him is allowed.

History is just the tip of the iceberg. What about the departments that are designed specifically for leftist ideology?

The humanities are just pathetic right now. If their academic standards were applied to mathematics, I could publish everything I've thrown into the wastebasket over the last 5 years.
