Summers of Harvard also took on Cornel West and other african american race baiting rabble rousers. There may be hope in restoring some sanity to our Ivy Leagues.
I've worked at a liberal arts college for 25 years and I know from first-hand experience how anti-american some of these people can be. It's gone from a mostly right to a mostly left faculty. Anyone who dares to tell the truth is chastised and threatened with sit-ins, you name it. One African American professor wrote an article for a well-known college magazine and he has been roundly chastised for it. I called him and told him what a good article it was and to keep up the good work. I also tried to encourage another professor who got into trouble last year for saying that many Women's Studies and Africana studies courses were not rigorous. Not all of us here like what's going on but we are fairly helpless to stop it. When your paycheck depends on not offending folks, you don't say as much as you should.
of the top 50 colleges rated by U.S. News & World Report magazine, not one makes American history a requirement for graduation.Considering the revisionist horse puckey that passes for western history at most colleges, this may not be such a bad thing. A truthful curriculum is needed before the graduation requirement would be effective.
Last week, for example, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, co-founded by Lynne Cheney, wife of the vice president, released a report titled "Restoring America's Legacy," which asserted that of the top 50 colleges rated by U.S. News & World Report magazine, not one makes American history a requirement for graduation.
True. For example, my alma mater, MIT, has no such requirement.
On the other hand, a requirement to pass two semesters of physics, two semesters of calculus, and a semester of either chemistry or biology in your freshman year tends to keep out the riff-raff.
