Santorum: You cannot take American History courses at the University of California

[Wild Cobra]

Have you figured out the problem with American History yet?

There is no problem. I have my answer, not my problem you guys are chasing something else.

The discussion doesn't revolve around you is the reason why we are still at it. Nice to see your ego is based on how much attention you get though.

[Venti Quattro]

Maybe Wild Cobra studied at USC?

[ploto]

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.

Are you really claiming that all universities require all it graduates to take an entire year of US history to graduate?

For example:
University of Alabama

12 semester hours of courses approved for the history and social and behavioral sciences (SB) designation to include 3 semester hours of courses approved for the history (HI) designation and 6 semester hours of courses approved for the social and behavioral sciences (SB) designation.

(Does not have to be US history)

http://registrar.ua.edu/academics/co...ore-post-1998/

For engineering majors, it is even less:

Nine semester hours of courses in the areas of history and social and behavioral sciences (HI & SB), to include six semester hours in a discipline (HY, EC, for example). A six-hour depth study is required and may be taken in either HU, L, & FA or HI & SB.

http://registrar.ua.edu/academics/co...m/engineering/

University of Arizona:

All degree-seeking, undergraduate students must satisfy the requirements of the UA General Education Curriculum by completing a series of basic college courses:

Foundations – English Composition, Mathematics, and Second Language courses
Tier One – Traditions & Cultures, Individuals & Societies, and Natural Sciences courses
Tier Two – Humanities, Individuals & Societies, Natural Sciences, and Arts courses
Diversity Emphasis – Gender, Race, Class, Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, or Non-Western Area Studies (one course)

If you follow the link, you can find a long list of courses from which to choose to satisfy these requirements. You do not even have to take one history class to graduate.

Wild Cobra, you need to come see me.

Good stuff ploto. i actually did not know as for the states that i am familiar with the 6 hours is required. that being said it is interesting that two of the most conservative states in this country do not require it.

Maybe I'm not dead. Have you seen my death certificate? Why are people so quick to jump to conclusions before all the facts are out?

Where are you hiding? The whole South Korean police force is going to go HAM on your ass. You killed a whole family with a grenade for 's sake.

[Wild Cobra]

What a lame troll.

I'm just emulating your style, bro. No need to get mad. I think your inability to use a search engine correctly is ing hilarious, since you can e-stalk women like a pro.

i never said that wasn't the case. in fact from the beginning ive said it would be strange if UCLA did not require them. i offered hypotheticals as to how i would feel if that wasn't the case, but i've never been committed to believing otherwise. why are you geting so defensive?

Given the past of this thread, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to speculate on something that has proved to be completely easy to learn in seconds.

UCLA doesn't require American History, though it has about a billion US history courses available.

Arizona is a conservative state but Tucson is a liberal city (Giffords and Grijalva being the two house members from Tucson districts) and UofA is a very liberal school. Just look at the stuff ploto posted for UofA (like a diversity requirement).

I don't think requiring students to take US history is a conservative ideal at all though. Requiring students take some version of the bull US history they teach in middle school and high school that always portrays America as the liberating freedom fighter? Yeah, that'd be conservative. Making students take courses on real American history (i.e. manifest destiny, slavery, etc.) isn't very conservative at all. One class I've taken at UA had a huge unit on the bull America pulled with Afghanistan and the Soviet Union.

As long as it offers it, then that is fine by me, and proves Santorum is liar.

Rick Santorum Faces Resentment In Pennsylvania After Senate Loss

GETTYSBURG, Pa. — Rick Santorum is as unpopular in Pennsylvania today as he was six years ago when home-state voters kicked him out of the Senate in a rout. That sour public perception may doom his fading chances of sticking around in the GOP presidential race, along with other hurdles that dot his path to a possible, and needed, victory in the April 24 primary.

He failed to heal a rift with fiscal conservatives who had lost confidence in him or reassure party leaders that he could temper his hardline positions on social issues that repel the moderate and independent voters who are crucial to success in statewide elections in this diverse state. Even some who know Santorum say he isn't the best candidate.

That Pennsylvanians know Santorum may be part of the problem.

He spoke at the state's largest annual gathering of conservatives several weeks ago, yet won a straw vote with less than half the vote. His support in the state also has slipped, according to surveys that highlight his apparent likeability problem.

Santorum is as unpopular now as he was at the time of his defeat. A February poll by Muhlenberg College showed that nearly half the registered voters surveyed viewed him unfavorably. Just 39 percent saw him favorably.

A March 28 poll by Franklin & Marshall College showed Santorum with 30 percent support to Romney's 28 percent among registered Republicans, a significant drop from the 29-point advantage Santorum enjoyed in February.

Proof that InSaneTorum is all about himself, not about The American People.

lol WC
lol got

[ElNono]

Why do people argue with WC?

[Cry Havoc]

This thread is a classic.

[SnakeBoy]

Ya'll aren't being fair to WC, it's pretty clear Santorum and WC were talking about Amurican History which isn't taught in universities.

Quality coursework like:

HIS1001 Amurica: Yeah!
HIS1002 Amurica: We're #1
HIS2035 Amurica: Love It or Leave It
HIS2055 Amurica: USA! USA! USA!

He can track down a over the internet but he cant navigate a course catalog. Unbelievable.
