Education Continued
from Page 12
Multicultural education seeks to
encompass all the factors that influence
a work. For example, all children come
into contact with information about the
writer of the Declaration of
Independence, Thomas Jefferson. Yet, it
is the rare person that knows of
Jefferson’s slave mistress and the
children she bore for him. It is the
intellectually lonely person that knows
that Jefferson not only grew hemp -
marijuana - for cultivation purposes but
for intoxication purposes as well. Is this
information important for people to
know? Sure il isl It is just as important
as the cherry tree story and the wooden
teeth story everyone is taught about
George Washington. These facts permit
one to see history on their own terms, to
come to their own conclusions as to
what is and is not important. History is
not to be dictated as some sterile, non
feeling event of the past, but taught as
information directly responsible for the
way things are today.
The history of World War II is
taught in pretty much the same vein as
the story of the making of America.
There was the bad guy. Hitler, who
wanted to kill the Jews and America
came and saved the day. A greater
understanding of the atrociousness of
Nazi Germany could be taught if the
education establishment risked telling
the truth instead of being a bastion for
instilling American patriotism. Students
should be taught not only why the Jews
were exterminated, but also why Hitler
felt compelled to round up gypsies,
homosexuals, communists, and radicals.
It is an outrageous irony that the country
Hitler tried to develop - one of Aryan
(white) male supremacy - is exactly the
type of history that is taught in
American schools. ’Benign neglect’ in
education is surely no less evil that
willful extermination of alternative ways
of thinking!
While Political Science 101
courses are mired in the works of John
Locke, little is known of the prolific
