Reduces exposure? Do you mean to YOUR American cultural
identity? Surely you must realize that not everyone is the same
as you. Not everyone likes to categorize things into black or
white and not everyone assumes the worst. Some see variety in
the types of American experiences about which students learn not
as a threat of "drawing the lines of racial aggrievance" but as
a promise of inclusivenss, understanding and amity.  Come on
now, the textbook directly suggests to the student to contact
the United Farm Workers for more information.  The assignment is
clearly, but subtly, designed to push a political agenda.
Almost every non-fiction listed in the article above is pushing
a liberal agenda and one of the poets is an avowed Stalinist.
What a coincidence!   Featured Promotions
