[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way to increase the number of history majors is to stop teaching race/class/gender/labor-based America-hating Left-wing drivel, but the history departments refuse to do that, so let them all sink into oblivion as they deserve.[/quote]
Hey, you seem really passionate in this. Can you show one history department that exclusive teaches race/class/gender/labor-based American...drivel? That's also a lot of groups to say "those histories don't matter to" and I'm not sure if your interpretation of history is just Constitutional law and White American studies?

Also students are the ones most interested in class/gender/race, etc. English faculty would jump to the sky if kids had any interest in old dead white rich dudes.[/quote]

History is less popular now that people know more about what actually happened. It's not fun anymore.[/quote]
Kids today learn a much more diverse and accurate history lesson. No reason to extend it to a degree, really.[/quote]
