Multicultural History Mess
Do you think students should know more about world history? The Christian Science Monitor thinks so. Unfortuantely, it looks like just another propaganda opportunity for the usual suspects: "One lecture detailed how the ethnic divide between Hutus and Tutsis in Burundi had roots in colonialization by Western countries such as Belgium."
In addition history lessons are to vary based upon the student's skin color: "European history no longer reflects students' ancestry as much," says Patrick Manning, director of the World History Center at Northeastern University in Boston.
