    If this forum was a porn video library, then this thread is the interracial gangbang section and WC stars as the blonde girl.

    Nah, Santorum is the blonde; WC is the fluffer.

    The United States and the World Since 1945: And the world? How little is the US history?
    I would like this question answered as well.

    dont know, did you look those (or their equivalents) up?

    Kinda a left field question though.

    No way it's possible that it could take an entire semester to cover 60 years of American history!

    It is not a left field question at all. Why would they allow anyone to study any specific part of American History without knowing American History in general? Usually they give you a survey class, and then they go into specifics. They're narrowing your scope of American History to things they would like you to know about, which is bull .

    Most school systems have you go through US and world history at each of the elementary, middle and high school levels. I have yet to see a degree program from a 4 year university that did not require an additional 2 classes which covered US history from at least initial european settlement to modern times.

    Further study becomes more specialized.

    WC fixating on that upper division coursework should not be compelling but for some reason the same people are compelled. Its useful to see confirmation bias at work is suppose but gmfb.

    College Catalogs are hard to navigate. Nothing like a parts manual.

    I don't believe you need lower division prerequisites in history to understand upper division history, or history of a narrower scope as you put it.

    Would be a neat trick in a nukulr fizzucks class though.

    If your argument is that broad based history is a good/necessary thing, then simply seek out an ins ution that teaches it.

    It is not that you would not be able to understand it. It is that you would only learn a narrow part of history, leading to possibly narrow historical, economical, cultural, and political prespectives. That is not learning American History; that is learning about X period of American History.

    If your argument is that broad based history is a good/necessary thing, then simply seek out an ins ution that teaches it.
    You are missing the point. The point is that learning just a part of American History is not learning American History. Yet, American History is (as far as I know) a neccessary class. Whether a kid should go to another Uni. to study is off-subject.

    Im sure you've got some religious bull in mind knowing you but can you point me to one 4 year public university in the US that does not require at least 6 hours of US history dating from 1600 to 1860 and 1860 to present or a something analogous?

    Just one.

    Most all of those classes when put together cover a large portion of US history. I don't see the focus as being too narrow. I know that most Unis require a year of history which is broken into two semesters. They cover the entire gambit as I understand it.

    EDIT: Fuzzy beat me to this point.

    Ahhh, I missed the context.

    Necessary for what though? To fulfill some general requirement I take it? Why is it a bad thing for kids to have a choice? I say let them decide if there are in fact other choices to be had.

    You'll definitely need to provide a link for WC's sake. I wonder if that will quench his bloodlust?

    Nah, I will let him educate himself on this thing called "goo-gle" it is a need tool to find things that you are looking for. Additionally, it could help him look less stupid in the future. Hopefully Mingus has learned his lesson to not throw his lot in with WC, noble as it was for him to attach himself to a sunken ship.

    We could go on for another 9 pages and WC would still be asking for links to California course catalogs.

    I haven't seen anyone prove anything about Humbolt State. Perhaps that's what Santorum was talking about!
