The Decline in Teaching Western Civilization

[Zinhead]

So, in my courses, we teach a small subset of history and we dive in deep to that period. THAT is what got me hooked into history… not the way K-12 teaches it where were skim over huge swaths of time and are expected to know exact dates like they’re relevant at all.

And that is how we end up with students ignorant of basic history like in the following video filmed at Texas Tech.

At least they know who Snooki is.
