I’d like to think that we have survived an endless stream of theories in the classroom – from President Franklin D. Roosevelt allowing Pearl Harbor to be attacked (Ã?¡ la 9-11) to the fact-light, race and ethnicity lectures that do little to offset bias and segregation nationwide as vocalized recently by President Bush at the NAACP convention.
What seems to be of greater concern is the accepted practice of talking about issues as if there are only two sides: One is right and the other is selling a pack of lies.
