Insane: College History Majors Don’t Have to Take This Class

If you were told that a respected university did not require any U.S. history classes for graduation, you might be a little unnerved. Strange, but okay, there are probably some courses of study where a U.S. History class might seem a bit irrelevant. On the other hand, a liberal arts education is supposed to include a variety of core classes unrelated to your concentration.

But put that aside, because the reality is actually even more ridiculous. In more than a third of American universities, even those college students seeking a degree in HISTORY are not required to take a single course on the HISTORY of the United States.

This revelation came by way of a report from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni earlier this year. At the time, the group’s president, Dr. Michael Poliakoff, said it was a troubling omen for the future of the country.

“A democratic republic cannot thrive without well-informed citizens and leaders. Elite colleges and universities in particular let the nation down when the examples they set devalue the study of United States history,” Poliakoff said.

This week, George Washington University announced through their school newspaper that they would be jumping on board this frightening trend. “To better reflect a globalizing world,” the school has now eliminated the need for history majors to take any classes on U.S. history.

The head of the history department at GWU told the paper that “the main gain for students is that they have a great deal more flexibility than they had before, and they can adapt it to whatever their plans are for the future. Whatever they want to do, there’s a way to make the history department work for them.”

On Fox News, conservative radio host Larry Elder said this was a reflection of liberal bias in academia.

“According to a lot of professors, the founding fathers are a bunch of old rich white guys who owned slaves,” said Elder. “As a result, they’re no longer relevant. I call this the access of indoctrination. Schools have long since passed the line from education to indoctrination, and this is one more step toward that.”

There’s that, but this also shows you how worthless a lot of college degrees really are. Someone presents themselves as an educated historian, and you automatically assume they know what they’re talking about. In reality, you can have a fancy degree in history without knowing anything more about the U.S. than your average high school graduate.

In fact, when you take that indoctrination into account, you probably know less.

    So the people are going to get out of collage at GWU and go “ummmm, who was that George Washington character who name is on our school and what did he do?” Of course by the time these guys graduate liberals will probably have renamed the school because George Washington was a white guy.

    If these colleges don’t change their curriculum and start teaching rather than indoctrinating, they will themselves void of subjects,,, I mean students.

    • jimmy midnight

      If GWU had eliminated all US History courses, the Shawns and admins, and U, my Mad friend, would have a real grievance. As it is, you’re just being manipulated 2 hate people who disagree w/you.

      Mr. Mad, U actually know better, but many other do not.

      • john

        Ize thinks U U’s 2 many communist abbreviations………. lazy as can be and stupid, there is only one type of person that fits the description… U thinks Ize right?

        • jimmy midnight

          I think you’re wrong. I use only single letters and single numbers, I’m pretty sure, that overall, it forces many people “2” slow down and read what I have “2” say. I would never go with a “U’s” for “use.”

          Also could serve as a suggested way “4” people who aren’t sure which form of “2” “2” use in various situations. Which do “U” find “2” “B” more communist, me or abbreviation?

          • When we first met, you did not use this tactic. Leading me to think that Jimmy may have more than one personality.

          • jimmy midnight

            I did recently adopt this slightly different prose style 4 spaces like this. As noted, it’s just an effort 2 get people 2 pay attention when reading my posts.

            The same old me wishes U a Happy New Year, Mr. Mad.

      • Jimmy, are you trying to tell me that resistance is futile?

        I think what the Shawns and admins are fighting is out of the Communist playbook… It is hard to pinpoint the actions of the Alinsky Radicals.

        28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

        29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

        30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

        31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

        • jimmy midnight

          Well, it could B that I am. I agree wholeheartedly with 28. I’d need a longer time, and more space 2 elaborate on 29-31, but today’s not the time 2 do it. A more nuanced view is what I’d urge.

          Wondering where U found the list you’re using. Is it right out of “Rules for Radicals”?

          • Nope, “The Naked Communist” Cleon Skousen 1958

            Saul Alinsky and the liberal progressive radicals that follow him have adopted the entire list.

          • jimmy midnight

            Thanks 4 piquing my interest in the late Mr. Skousen. Unsurprisingly, he turns out to have been a virulent reactionary freak, a little bit like R other late friend Defector Dude, and former FBI agent, from the Hoover period.
            ,
            Hoover’s FBI was so intent on showing poor ol’ Gus Hall and the American Communist Party were intent of overthrowing US government, violently no less, that at a certain moment more than half of all CPUSA members were undercover agents.

            Skousen doubtless did some of that sort of duty, and saw what he was looking 4.
            an a
            It would B interesting 2 compare the Naked Communist list with Rules For Radicals. Then perhaps you’d see how the people you’ve learned from have made the left look far more overbearing and far less about making themselves useful by helping people get what they want, than is actually the case.

            Their ways R more subtle than a knife in the back, but YOU could understand them, and C them 4 what thy.

          • Now Jimmy, all you turned up is character assassination?

            You should know by now that I am immune to that trick and take every counter argument that starts with, “it is obvious by the most casual observer” or “Don’t believe that guy because he is stupid/evil/republican” or “golly you are a moron to think that way” without factual support that follows to support your opinion as a sign that I am winning the argument and my opponent has nothing to support his argument other than insults….

            So the virulent reactionary freak was CORRECT, until you can produce evidence that liberal progressives are NOT following the list. As near as I can tell, the Democrat party has adopted the entire list.

            Now when you consider what the list was generated for, the weakening of America’s institutions, one must ask why? Why would our Democrat polticians implement an agenda that was meant to destroy America?

            Perhaps this is the answer…..

            “We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have communism.”
            —-Nikita Khrushchev

            15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

            hmmmmmmmmm, what have I been saying???

            Elite Democrats = Elite Republicans = Elite MEDIA = Elite Communists
            Big Government = Communism
            Crony Capitalism = a form of Communism…

            Argue those points with facts and not insults, and we will be communicating.

    • Mr Rollo

      Let’s get rid of “liberal”. It no longer has meaning. The word for these universities is “communist”. That is the word at least, I, will be using heretofore.

      • I think you are correct, it is prudent to be clear even though it is shocking to some. Nobody wants to live in a communist society. But we are being tricked into accepting America as one.

        “We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake
        to find they have communism.”

        • Mr Rollo

          “We are being tricked”. You really nailed that one. Communists under the guise of “liberalism”. Look at all the American celebrities who support, and periodically visit Maduro with good tidings for his efforts to enslave his people, while the Venezuelan people are starving.

          What in the Hell is going on in this world, and what is wrong with the young people today? Parental misguidance? I don’t know what is wrong with people and their new love of communism. To me, it looks like a love of suicide. Why? No answer here. Trump will have to change matters. He use to get 4 hours sleep. Forget that, he will now be awake 24/7. With the Devil Obama, we are in for real trouble. Obama’s goal is to destroy American freedom and the millennials are too naive to realize what will happen if the Obama’s so-called legacies are not destroyed outright.

          • We can no longer turn our backs on our Government. It is corrupt. The MEDIA is corrupt, our school system is corrupt.Hollywood is corrupt.

            All have been duped into thinking that liberal progressive values (communism) are good for this country.

            Not one person has been able to give me a communist country where the middle class is better off than America….

            The Communist con is on…

            Obama had communist grandparents, and was mentored by “Uncle Frank”, who was a card carrying member of the American communist party.

            Also, Obama attended Reverend Wright’s “God Dam America” church for twenty years.

            He was also influenced by the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, who, along with Bernadine Dhorn, orchestrated the bombing of the Pentagon and the bombing of a police station in Chicago. A policeman was killed, but Bill Ayers got off on a “technicality.”

            The above should be part of Obama’s legacy, but it will probably be scrubbed out.

    • Liz

      I believe you, but until you no longer have Professors indoctrinating and the ones that give them their jobs it will continue. It goes deeper than just the Professors and it has been going on since the 1960’s. My theory is if you no longer give them TRUE history then you can tell them anything you want with an authoritative voice and they will believe you. Obama has been trying to rewrite history already, he said our Country was built on a Muslim foundation and we are a Muslim Nation, both are lies but if you repeat it enough and don’t teach the REAL and TRUE history of our Country the young will believe these Progressive Liberal Professors. Sometimes I think the only answer is homeschooling, which the government wants to outlaw, because some schools are now using Common Core and parts of it have Muslim exercises and Muslim pledges to Allah, some states are already fighting it, check it out. You can disagree with me but please check the facts….

      • Homeschooling is the only answer.

        I think people will figure out quick enough that our higher education is nothing but propaganda and will just quit paying for it. The sooner the better if you ask me.

        • Liz

          I heard that at one point the banning of Homeschooling in the USA is hidden in the Small Arms Treaty Obama wanted passed by the UN. It appeared he wanted the UN to take control of our Country and also wanted UN troops here….There has been speculation by many who have seen UN vehicles being transported across the US.

          • 0bama probably thought he could waltz over to the UN and take control of it.

  • Joyce White

    Our education system needs to be overhauled, from k- Universities. These socialist educators do not seem to understand that American do not wan a GLOBALIST WORLD. Such a thing would rob everyone of their individuality. Everyone would think alike, act alike and speak alike. There would be no progress because our individual thought processes would all be the same. we would be living, breathing, computers, programmed by an oversight committee.If this seems too Orwellian to some of you, give it some thought. Then read the Communist Manifesto, and learn what the Globalists have in store for us. This is serious trouble, folks. This program does nothing to up=lift society but does make sure that there will be a ruling class. Just as the Old Commie regime in Russia. The people were lower-class, but Stalln and his cohorts lived high off the hog

    • thereasonableman

      Who is going to do the overhaul? Most Repubs want to defund/do away with Dept of Education and leave all public education entirely at the whim of local and state governments. If that happens US will slip even lower in math and science.

      • john

        We want to reduce funding because the communists like you use it to teach more communism brain washing.

      • Joyce White

        thereasonableman. I doubt that the entire educational system will be disbanded without laying some ground rules, which each state must follow. Right now, the states are funded by the government and must dance to their tune, no matter how outrageous the steps are. Hopefully Trump will see the necessity of going a little slower in this matter

        • pineapple

          The federal government collects taxes from the states and then dictates what each state can and can not do. Otherwise, the feds will withhold the taxes that were collected from those states.

          This is what the Constitution was written to prevent by LIMITING the powers of the federal government.

      • pineapple

        How could it be much worse?

        The Constitution reserved to the states all powers that were not specifically given to the federal government.

      I agree with you we need more American History classes when our students do not know the difference between Revolution and Civil war we are in trouble and that is only 1 example

    Revolutionaries must remove all signs of freedom from the people to successfully establish a peoples party predicated on dictatorial rule; to control the mind, you must control the educational system. When we cave in to tyranny, we not so much lose our freedoms as win our enslavement.
    The hoarding of Knowledge is really an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility. I say: there is nothing more worthwhile fighting for then freedom! US VET.

    “World history” without the chunk of history that has kept the “world” from speaking German, Japanese, Russian or Chinese…Just in the last century….
    The definition of a “liberal arts” curriculum in progressive hands.

    • Mr Rollo

      Today, it is “communist arts curriculum”. “Liberal” is dried up and totally dead. Radicalism has displaced the fave word – -“liberal”.

    • Theuresa Maven

      So what was being studied in the twelve years that the child was in school, or were the kids just twiddling their thumbs?

      • Mark Brickey

        I’m sorry, Theursa, but we’re talking about “higher education” here, where one is supposed to be specializing their studies into one field. The general education that a child gets is just that – general. When one goes to college, if you don’t understand the concept, it is to study deeply in a chosen area such as music, education, some sort of engineering, etc.
        If you’ve had your eyes & ears open esp. this last year, the students as several universities are busy being snowflakes instead of “learning deeply” and the sniveling administrations are kowtowing to them, which not only destroys “deeper learning”, hell, any real learning at all, but any respect for authority or rules. Then, on top of that, I can guarantee that a majority of these whiny snowflakes are there on government grants & “scholarships” and shouldn’t even be there because they’re not academically qualified….

        • Theuresa Maven

          I guess that you missed my post where I said that I said that I was a history major in college, with an economics minor, so it is definitely a concepr that I understand. Because of my coursework in high school, Advanced Placement specifically, I was exemted from the first nine required credits, which probably which prohably would have been American history, and went on to rack up 43 elective credits. It is not that American history is not available to the adult college students to classes that they are interested in, the difference is whether or not they are required to. In most instances, the students select American based courses as elective, to get an easier grade. To show you the difference though, there were only six students in my AP history class in high school, and twenty in college. My AP class used the exact same textbook that I used in high school, except in high school we used four more.

          • Mark Brickey

            Thanks for the synopses. I CLEPed out of 12 hours of courses (we didn’t have AP, but had the opportunity to take a series of tests), so had the same advantage as you, which points out that American History is one of the core classes for undergrad degree in an American institution – or SHOULD be – and the only way around that is to test out ot it as we did.
            Again, when we talk “liberal” education we are supposed to be talking traditional liberl in we mean wide-ranging & thorough in the basics of math, science, history, language arts and arts. Then, with this breadth, depth is added to the well-rounded educated person.
            Congratulations on your academic accomplishments!

        • pineapple

  • MILES E DRAKE

    We have without really deserving it received a reprieve from the Orwellian future that the Obammunist coalition of satanists, socialists and sodomites were just about ready to impose on us. After one or two terms of the Wicked Witch of Westchester all educational thinking would have been replaced by propaganda (it’s nearly that way already) and history would be a dumbed-down version of the fables Winston Smith concocted at the Ministry of Truth in “1984”. We must expect an open insurrection by the party of Marx, Mohammed and Mapplethorpe and must resolve never to allow them to hold power again.

    • Theuresa Maven

      I took fourteen history classes for 43 credits, plus credits for 9 required classes that I did not have to take because of Advanced Placement, most of which were American history, and were electives. This story is a sham because it makes the reader believe that the classes are not offered, which they are.

  • theseer

    these liberal colleges should also eliminate black history…it serves no educational purpose and is totally irrelevant…to the actual founding and creation of america…and teaches racism toward caucasians.

    • GrizzMann

      Black history would show that the first Black senators were Republican. They would also find the first Civil Rights Act was vetoed by a Democrat President, only to be over turned by Republicans. They will also find that the Constitutional Amendment to abolish slavery in the US was passed by Republicans. That would not further the Democrat agenda.

      • bjpurg

        You are correct but our liberal universities today would never teach it that way!! I am surprised at how surprised many blacks are to realize MLK was republican! Instead they teach students the big switch theory, saying dems today are republicans of yesterday. The big switch is just a very big lie!

        • Mr Rollo

          They are no longer “liberal universities”. They are now defined as “communist universities”.

            Thank you! You are 100% correct! I have a brand new grandson and I am thinking his college education would be best served at a Christian university or an online university!

          • Mr Rollo

            A Christian university would be No. 1 ! ! ! Years ago I took online courses from a local community college. What made the online courses so great, there was NO professor PC interference! I was then able to get work at a nearby bank. It worked out great.

          • Theuresa Maven

            My sister-in-law was a college chairman who gave online college courses, and gave multiple choice exams. What her students did not know, was that it was my 12 year old niece who was grading my papers. I understand that online college is convenient, but I would prefer to be looking my professor in the eye. Maybe they should do like when I was a kid. Our local PBS used to have a professor on television giving history and language courses, the students took notes just the way that one does in class, and PBS provided.additional books and guides to answer any additional questions that the students might have. When in college, I often used the PBS videos (obtained from the library) to help do my thesis outline, and point me in the direction that I should be going in to do my research.

    As a retired and former college professor, in my opinion, that’s about as absurd as telling a scientist that he doesn’t need to take any Lab classes if he prefers or a medical student that if he is afraid of blood, he can be exempted from those classes that involve surgery. When will the insanity cease?

If you will not admit the obvious that is why it’s a problem. The liberals have taken control of our public school system and it needs fixing big time.

    • Theuresa Maven

      In many colleges, this pratice has been put in place for over 100 years, and does not mean that no American history courses are not offered, and then there are the colleges, some of the best in the world, that call their history classes philosophy. There is a difference between required American history classes, and elective history classes.

  • off2shop

    Thank Mr. & Mrs. Bill (60’s Weatherman)and Bernardine(Dohrn) Ayers for all the communist teachings in our colleges. Bill decided he could not blow up(after a bomb he & a “friend” made blew up and killed his friend) all the Federal Building he wanted to in the 60’s, so he turned his thought process and money to attacking our colleges.

    • pineapple

      And he was Obama’s BFF.

  • Theuresa Maven

    I was a history major in college, and was never required to take a United States history class while there. That does not mean that I did not take American history classes, I just was not required to, and that does not mean that the college does not offer a selection of history classes to, or that in some colleges, history classes are often taught as philosophy. This is another case of Shawn’s uninformed non-issues. Because I had taken Advanced Placement American history in high school, along with a regular American history class (3 hours a.day, 5 days a week, 42 weeks a year), I was given full credit in college for my core requirements (which saved a lot of money), and went directly to my electives in my freshman year, at which time I elected to take American history classes. Shawn iis playing with semantics again. In college there is generally a laundry list of history classes, from which an adult student may select whichever classes that they choose. Besides, by the time a student has arrived in college, they have already studied at least twelve years of American history. How much more are they supposed to learn, particularly if they are not history majors?

    • Bill

      Theuresa, I wish I could agree with you, but our kids for the most part are very dumb regarding history of even the important events. There is something very wrong in our public school teaching and curriculum. I truly believe a voucher system needs to be in place so parents are given a choice of what kind of education is best for their child. We need competition in our schools versus our present public school indoctrination.

        That is a problem with your state and/or your local school board. It is generally the state that picks the textbooks, and often have them edited to suit. In many cases, the curriculum varies from state to state.

    • pineapple

      Perhaps they could learn who the Vice-President is, which most didn’t know when interviewed by “Waters World.”

      • Theuresa Maven

        What is Waters World?

        • pineapple

          Waters is on the Bill Oriely(sp) show and interviews people on the street.

          His portion of the show is called “Waters World.”

  • mudguy1

    This one of the reasons we have idiots like Colin Kaepernick and more that kneel when the Anthem is played. They know nothing of our history or heritage.
    As long as the liberals have control of our Colleges and Universities this will not change.

  • jjmcl431

    sadly, the way that the snowflakes are rewriting history these days they are not missing anything. when they start stuff like defending Japan for bombing Pearl Harbor and killing Americans they are going to far.

  • papa doug

    I have been talking about this for years but one tiny little voice is rarely heard. High schools and colleges for the last 30 years have been hiring socialist teachers, professors, principals and college deans to make sure our students are taught mostly socialist doctrine and little to nothing of American history. This is why so many think the Constitution is just an irrelevant old piece of paper that doesn’t apply any more. They have no clue how important it is especially today!

  • Alan404

    The situation is described as “strange”, a description I for one would agree with.

  • HAVE YOU NOTICED PEOPLE MORE AND MORE ARE USING THE WORD COMMUNIST? THE ONLY ONES USING THE WORD RIGHT WING ARE THE COMMUNISTS. RIGHT WING IS MAIN STREAM AMERICAN. NOTICE THE DEMO COMMOS ACCUSE AMERICANS OF BEING FACISTS AND NAZIS. THEY NEVER ACCUSE US OF WHAT THEY ARE. COMMUNISTS.

    N. Khrushchev wisely predicted that we would fall from within – WE HAVE, as this article cleary illustrates!

  • kbmiller

    Many educators now have a degree in “Education”. They may have ONLY 3 courses in the “Major” they are “Teaching” undergraduates. These can be 100 or 200 level courses. Another method in the “Dumbing Down of America”. When did the system change from College’s/University’s being institutions of Higher Learning to Quotas and “Push em Through” to “Earn em Degrees” with Leftist/Socialist imprints on /in their foreheads?

  • Yip Yap

    This is just another reason we have been going down the tubes as a country…No knowledge or respect for the history, institutions and people that made America, America.

    On the other hand, these inane snowflakes demand universities ban any and ANY and ALL with a different idea… To them, anything that doesn’t conform to their twisted notions is racist and/or homophobic.

    They have been indoctrinated, since pre-school, by ‘teachers’ that were indoctrinated by those that preceded them.

    Leftist revisionist history is taught while American civics and saying the pledge is out because it might offend some illegal or Muslim.

    They have been pandered to by helicopter parents, college officials and protected from the horrors of dodge ball.

    They only know what they know from, like minded, Facebook pages and twitters. And, what they know, usually, ain’t so.

    Around the world, there are kids going to schools with no windows, no free lunch, no electricity, dirt floors and only flies for pets…BUT, do better than many of these spoiled brats.

  • Alleged Comment

    The most important history to know and they, of course, don’t want you to know about it. Communism and lieberalism is what they want you to know only.

    Any college that eliminates American history you should pull out of. They are making you into a Gumby.

  • Bella Gray

    This is the Globalists at work. To impose a One World Order they have to break down everything that makes America patriotism. The Communist Democrats have all lost their collective minds, the feed off each other and have now become a cancer.

    Lets get rid of Affirmative Action. It’s unnecessary now, there was a mulatto prez.

    • Theuresa Maven

      Let me give you a hint about so called Affirmative Action. While black and white Americans are so busy fighting over the concept, nearly 40% of students entering American colleges through Affirmative Action are Chinese directly from mainland China, and are not American citizens. When I once worked as a college administrator, one of the school vice presidents actually stated that he preferred the Chinese students because they generally paid for their entire four year education in advance, often in cash, including room and board.

      • Jesusprotectus

        No thanks for the hint, however, I have facts for you. (Warning:might cause trigger)

        In a world of pc participation trophies and awards, it just seems the next progression should be eliminating affirmative action, since winning is an obsolete concept.

        Academia should concentrate on encouraging young minds to excel, and promote the highest achievers, not fill a quota.

        • Theuresa Maven

          You do know what that quota was about, do you not?

          • Jesusprotectus
          • Theuresa Maven

            So because one black man was.president, the quota has been filled. Forty percent of class setasides are given to foreign students, even though that was not its intention? And anyone who quotes the post …

          • Jesusprotectus

            Blame barry.

          • Theuresa Maven

            This has been going on as far back as 1993, before Obama was even a senator.

      • tCotUS

        I agree, Chinese students come here to LEARN & they have the cash. . But on the other side the coin these Universities are located within the United States. They receive Government funding/TAXPAYER dollars. These Universities should loose their Government Funding ..I mean ALL of IT!

  • AL

    You must look back to Kent state killings. The Ohio National Guard was blamed. But only 1 bullet was the same as the guard would have. and the test showed it was NOT FIRED FROM ANY GUARDSMEN’S GUN. That was commie killing commies just to make news.

    Our biggest enemies are those Within aka:our own people mostly the college age groups ! Younger children are bing indoctrinated into communists beliefs as we speak For whatever reason their parents either are already stinking thinkers or they can’t afford a decent education or they are too busy to be bothered with parenting ! Parents have fallen for the government knows best ! Just look at how people are behaving ! They have no moral compass and are being taught to have no compassion of any kind for anything other than Muslims and Animals ! It was better in the day when a child got spanked for being disrespectful to his/her parents ! And by the way we are. It a democratic republic ! Just a Republic !

  • they only want them to learn what they want them to learn and that is nothing there won’t be no jobs for them any ways when they leave college. Still voting for the government plantation Blaming all the Whites and their privileges and l am white and l have no where near the freedom or rights the college kids are taking away from me.. Illegal do not even have legal rights to be in college. only the legal have rights. Obama and supreme court really trashing the constitution

  • Ron

    I have stated numerous times and do so yet again…
    Colleges in America have become HIGHLY overrated, especially the schools of the vaunted “Ivy League.” IMHO, only five institutions of higher learning in the United States are deserving of one dime of federal taxpayer money…the United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Coast Guard Academy, United States Air Force Academy, and the United States Merchant Marine Academy. The graduates of these five institutions provide valuable services to our nation. The rest of the colleges/universities in our country should be forced to sink or swim on their own merits or lack thereof. Where are the trade and vocational schools that once provided the instruction that enabled millions of American young people to pursue needed, worthwhile, and satisfying careers? Where is it written that EVERY young person MUST go to college in order to be successful? In recent years, our campuses have become indoctrinatory breeding grounds for political correctness and anti-American activism, churning out unemployable graduates with unmarketable “skills” in useless fields. Bastions of leftist progressivism, these schools are led and staffed by the very 1960’s radicals (and their ideological descendants) who once stormed and occupied the same administration buildings in which they now have offices. It is long past time for a Herculean cleaning of these Augean stables. The ACADEMIC swamp must be drained as well as the political one!

  • Sir James

    The Democrats will implode before they are done. Look what Obama has done to Congress? Fewest number of Democrats since the 1920’s. Yeah Obama, you are one of the all time greats alright. Wouldn’t cross the Mason-Dixon Line if I were in your shoes. 👠

  • desert fox

    The dumbing down of college students. Typical of the liberal college “professors” that actually don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground. A college degree doesn’t amount to a hill of beans anymore. Since government grants pay for the dumbest of students to attend college, colleges don’t care what finished product they are putting out as long as they get the money to pay salaries. Eighth graders in early America had a better education than a graduating college student.

  • Dave T

    It’s tough to imagine anybody majoring in history not WANTING to take American history classes. Just another way current students can be lazy? Or maybe the author should have included stats showing the % of those who chose the American history classes vs those that declined.

    Now they are trying to dumb down our young adults like they are our younger generation. Pretending we have no American history does not mean it didn’t happen. Parents you can teach your children at home. Don’t lose our history.

    Is it any wonder that when we a “Man on the street” type of interview on the TV today, that many people can’t even remember what party Hillary was in, or who Joe Biden is. But the more disturbing is that they can’t name a single founding father, think their favorite president was Ben Franklin, who won the Civil War or who we fought in WW2. They think that the Revolution was fought against the French in the 1850’s.

    OF COURSE THE LIBERALS DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IN 1952 A PUBLIC LAW 414, CHAPTER 2, SECTION 212, WAS PASSED THAT BANNED ALL MUSLIMS FROM THE USA.

    WHY DO YOU THINK ANYTHING OBAMA HAS DONE IS LEGAL, HE HAS CONFESSED TO BEING A MUSLIM ON NATION WIDE TV. EVERYTHING HE HAS SIGNED, OR ORDERED IN 8 YEARS IS ILLEGAL.

    WHY HAS HILLIARY HAD A MUSLIM FROM A RADICAL FAMILY AS HER TOP AIDE FOR 10 YEARS, HUMA COULD BE A PERFECT PIPELINE TO PASS SECRETS TO THE MUSLIM WORLD.

    WHY HAS OBAMA SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH MUSLIMS ANOTHER PERFECT PIPELINE TO PASS SECRETS. HE HAS DECLARED HIMSELF A MUSLIM ON NATIONWIDE TV.

    WHY DOES THE BIASED NEWS MEDIA SAY HE IS NOT A MUSLIM, WHEN I HAVE A LIST OF WHERE 34 TIMES HE HAS EITHER HELPED THEM OR SAID HE WAS ONE.

    WHY GET MAD AT PUTIN, HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PLACE IN RUSSIA FOR ANYONE THAT WOULD NOT FOLLOW THEIR LAW AND SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A COUNTRY THAT DID.

    WHY HAS HILLIARY, OBAMA, KERRY AND THE BIASED NEWS MEDIA DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP THE RADICAL MUSLIMS.

    WHY STOP THE TANK AND PLANE SHIPPMENT TO EGYPT, WHEN THEIR ARMY KICKED THE RADICALS OUT?

    When I went to college in 1958 we were required to take several World History courses. When asked why American History was not taught, we were told that we were expected to learn American History in High School where it was important to know our heritage. I guess times have changed for the worse….

  • Nikita63

    This is nothing more than the result of the Marxist/Leftist/ Progressive mindset which has been invading this country since the assassination of JFK and LBJ’s founding of the Welfare State in the “Great Society,” and worse, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that was in my opinion a planned New World Order event to defeat over time the U.S. Constitution and Rule of Law FROM WITHIN. And, those proponents like The present excuse for an AMERICAN president and many before him in BOTH parties are participant and the participation level is growing as does the level; of indoctrination and conditioning in the public school system ; completely corrupted by UNION “teachers.” Is there nothing left of Common Sense and traditional value in this country? Is there no humanity, common decency, moral conscience , respect for the rights of others as individuals not part of some subspecies under mandate by a wannabe world encompassing Oligarchy of the powerful and privileged? THAT is the limited future at which we are looking UNLESS the trend can be reversed. I am 72 and a disabled Vietnam Vet. I love my country and did enough to defend it and its constitutional rights as an agent of a Foreign Policy I did not agree with because it was my DUTY and Obligation as a citizen to do so if called upon. I enlisted to get it over with: so did many others but I was luckier than the 60, 000 who died for NOTHING since there was no commitment to EVER winning the war and serving only to make government more powerful, less legally compliant and make hundreds of billions for corporate America and the warning fulfilled we had from Dwight Eisenhower to: “Beware the Military-Industrial complex.” Trump is the most purely American citizen oriented president we have had in my lifetime SINCE the Kennedy Assassination. God help him, because with BOTH criminally corrupt, complicit, enabling and empowering of the Obama abuses from sheer cowardice parties, neither of whom serves ANYTHING or anyone but itself, His tasks will be a thousandfold more difficult and, Were I him, I would be VERY careful about the screening of whom it is that is assigned as my “Security,” as no one in Government can be trusted. period. That is the legacy and the label they have EARNED by actions or lack of them and it is terribly well deserved! I am in MA. once a cradle of liberty; now a den of liberal lunacy! Of our 9 representatives: ALL are members of the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America. Wake UP America! We are being taken over from the enemy within and most of you are not EVEN AWARE OF IT!

  • Mike

    The only way to achieve better education is to pull federal and state funding for those making irresponsible decisions. Do away with or severely restrict tenure. Bad teachers and bad administrators need to be able to be fired.

  • C Jack Spratt

    This kind of mentality has been used for many years now to produce ‘non-prepared’ young Americans for the future. Some of the collegian professors today are products of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, the Beatnicks, and whatever, and they are simply following through with their negative and simplistic view that we all need to become Liberals and love everybody (as long as we agree with them) in the world and if we do that they will always love us back, and we can all live in harmony in our own little Dictator Hut provided by our loving captors!

    Folks this is the real result of Union Organized Labor “TENURE”, for Teachers and Professors who are not qualified to take care of themselves, because we cannot fire stupidity’, and you allow that ‘stupid Professor’ to continue to teach your offspring, better known today as your ‘snowflake’, because not only does your Professor not know anything about ‘reality’, but then again neither will your ‘snowflake’. By the way the name ‘snowflake’ became synonymous with young individuals today that can not, or could not accept the facts of life – such as a corrupt Hillary Clinton losing the Presidential Election and Trump Winning. Colleges delayed final exams because their students could not handle Hillary’s loss – they cried, they moaned, they yelled, they screamed, they marched – and as of this day they still do not know how to accept defeat. Can you believe this – some Colleges brought in Counselors to help the students get through this catastrophic event. Yes, they really did. It is really a shameful situation in America that not only have our students, but also our Professors/Teachers have become “SNOWFLAKES’ as well.

    Recently I met a couple of members of the West Point Military Academy and the Naval Academy – at West Point a Senior and at the Naval Academy a Junior – and they are dating. America, I am a Retired Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer, and I can truthfully tell you that I did not see one, none, any, nada, nil ‘snowflake’ in the entire bunch. I thank Almighty God for that! At our Military Academies our vetting system is working and, Thank God, we have no, absolutely no, ‘TENURE’ PROBLEMS. YOU PERFORM OR YOU ARE OUT OF HERE.

  • RsGoat

    When we take into account WHAT those college professors teach our young about the founding fathers it could be better for us that they learn from TV and the Bill O’Reiley specials or even the ones on history channel! The only other lesson we need to get across is the fact that judging people of the past by the standards we hold to day is beyond ridiculous. They were not raised on our standards, we only have them because of their mistakes and lessons learned! IF mankind could learn to have ALL of their AFTER thought BEFORE hand would not we all be geniuses? Would all those people laughing at Noah partied or helped? Napoleon, pushed deep into Russia just before winter or waited? Marie Antoinette laugh about cake or get the poor some flour? Only a few dumb examples but it should get the point across. The thinking of people at our founding was immature. One man had the maturity and for site to place in the Deceleration of Independence a phrase “all men are created equal” which gave our country a goal that maybe he ,a slave owner himself, did not fully realize but this country has spent it’s existence working on! That is the one point we should focus on. We may have started out left footed but we are work harder every day to keep coming down on the right foot! Just part of one line “All men are created equal”!

  • Marcy Gruber Johnston

    Teachers are always the basis for change . They shape what students hear, see, and therefore learn. And this system of allowing teachers and professors to not teach facts but to teach opinion is ruining not just America now but the future. They expect to be told how to think and not have to do any work. Someone needs to stop , especially colleges and universities, from not having students think for themselves. And if they get the news from the TV they are still getting incorrect information.
    Maybe social media needs to be socially responsible and inform their users of history facts and maybe why people are trying to leave communist/socialist countries to get here!!!
