[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the history curriculum in many primary and secondary schools as well as in some colleges and universities has become tangled up in the so-called culture wars. How many people who learned about “the War of Northern Aggression “ are likely to be excited enough about history to want to major in it?  How many students who were taught to value contexts and points of view on one hand — and, on the other, listened to members of their communities get excited about banning books and teaching the 1776 curriculum—  would have the desire to major in something that doesn’t lead directly to a career path, or even some common agreement about the value of their studies?

I actually do value having a well-rounded education, but that’s very much a luxury for many of us.

It isn't the 90s anymore. You know Southern States have DEI offices for their districts and have a heavy black population to protest against never teaching the Civil War correctly, right? That is, unless you are complaining about rural southerners with access to very little information which...they have other issues we could tackle first?[/quote]
