A report out found that some of the so-called top liberal arts colleges in the country don't even require students to take courses in U.S. history. Yet they are required to take other courses.
For example, a student at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, can avoid a survey course in American history by fulfilling the general education concentration requirement by completing courses like “History of Electronic Dance Music” or “Decoding Disney: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Animated Blockbuster,” according to the report.“Majors must take two courses from either East Asia or Latin America, however,” the report continues.
America's top liberal arts schools skip U.S. history, report findsI guess these "elite" colleges are producing students with strong opinions rooted in anything but the history of their own country.
