Santorum dismissed higher education again Monday while campaigning in Wisconsin, citing California’s university system as an example of “how bad it’s gotten in this country.”
It’s unclear whether Santorum was referring to the University of California system or the California State University system, but it doesn’t matter. Both offer American history courses at all their campuses. Even UCSF, a medical school, offers a Ph.D. in Anthropology, History and Social Medicine which offers a concentration in history of American medicine.
Ricky lying his butt off againg and a very weak attempt trying paint a liberal state like CA as being "unamerican".
And? Republicans hate history. Remember, Texas wanted to remove Jefferson from History.
I am a Republican and hated history so much that I minored in it for my Bachelor's degree (21 hours). I hated it so much that I took over 30 hours more getting my teaching license renewed over the years. I may still be a Democrat if the party hadn't walked away from me in 1972.
I wonder why UC-Berkley juniors and seniors came out so low in a test that was given in about 2000 measuring their knowledge of American History. Yep it seemed that students from both coasts were very low in historical knowledge about the US. Most of them showed decline from senior to high school to senior in college. I do wish I had that study result handy,
I looked at the courses available in those State schools and found plenty of room for lean in them. It gets funnier and funnier, don't it?
Interesting. Of course I'm neither republican nor democrat. I didn't pay much attention to that book issue though I happened to be a transplanted Texan living in California with a school aged child. I had already decided the California public school systems were a total loss. Since they had a habit of graduating functional illiterates, I didn't really see why it mattered what was printed in books no one would ever read. I sent my son to a private school.
But, I was born and raised in Texas and it never seemed particularly religious to me. But then again, I am from Houston. From what I've been told, Houston is an entity all it's own. Large cities tend to be quite different from the states they happen to be in.

That must be the year the dems started re-writing the history books!
