I agree when the Liberals run it from the teachers unions to the teachers of it at about every stage in far to many schools & colleges.

Actually learning is freeing ones mind! And opening many experiences, nothing libleral about that part unless your involved with marching to the steps of some liberal project.

At least thats how I felt when I was in school and local college.

well I was originally talking about journalists and why they are mostly liberal.
It is natural for colleges to be liberal. That is when learning should equal freeing one's mind.
We dont stay guru following, mao reading adults but we don't necessarily grow up to be republicans either.
How will a person know they reject Mao or Mein Campf unless they are exposed to the concepts?

The problem is liberalism in colleges today means shutting down the opposition by accusing them of "hate speech."

Speech codes, mandatory diversity classes, are not options for students, they are demands by the institution to conform to their ideal of what you should be.

Where I attended college (as an adult) ethnic history was an elective. I think it should be mandatory along with History of Western Civilization and American History.

Prove to me where freeing ones mind has any relationship to any form of Liberalism?
Sure CA., uses that approach yet of all their grads besides politics how many make their mark on the world?
And then there is CA, debt. so liberalism = debt..... You have it in CA. & the WH.

Then there is your last line.

I QUOTE YOU, "How will a person know they reject Mao or Mein Campf unless they are exposed to the concepts"?

And why can't that apply to God & the Bible which is not allowed period.

Teens and young adults are rebels.
Exactly. Never hinder a person from seeking the truth, whatever that may be.

salty your defense is so weak I am not going to waste my time dealing with it. I ask a question which should be taught and you say do a search.

I think it plain to anyone who reads it, so no need to reply any more.

Yes. Three semesters. Or four if the college does their system that way. Actually I wish History Chanel would do one because every American should take that and western civ and American history.
The course I took was inclusive. I assume they are all that way. But they should be. The first big wave of immigrants (after the founding) was from Ireland. Then an important bunch were the Poles and the Western Jews then the Eastern Jews. Mexicans and Native Americans. Then the particular ethnicity of your area. We studied the Basques because there is a big group there and the Japanese Americans displaced from California during WII many settled in Idaho and southern Oregon after getting out of the camps.
The third big group of course is African Americans.
imho any good ethnic studies course should cover at least all of the above.
It helps people understand one another and for me it was just lots of fun too.
