That means you will read the Confederates' own writings on why they seceded, especially the Confederate vice president's speech on how Africans are inferior and the institution slavery should be preserved.
> Statistics, research methods
yes
> biology I and II
meh, waste of time learning about the Krebs Cycle and the Carbon Cycle
rather have two biology classes that focuses on the important basics : human anatomy, human physiology, human genetics
> Might even require intro to chemistry and intro to physics for non-science majors
this should obviously be required
> World history and world geography courses will actually cover the world and not just Europe.
they already do - hell, my high school courses covered the Middle East, Egypt, China, Japan, South America, Mexico, Panama, Madagascar, Easter Island
> U.S. history will be taught accurately with all the good, bad, and ugly.
it already is

that's why he recommends taking classes in them

doesn't matter
there are too many stupid people who vote and make decisions based on faulty understanding of statistics and economics
there's even a thread on here now about people taking out $181k loans so they can get a Masters in Film LOL
anyone who has even the most basic understanding of economics would understand how incredibly stupid that is
> and has no desire to became subject matter experts in them.
no one's saying people have to be experts -- but my god, have a basic understanding
having a basic understanding of statistics, economics and the history of different political cultures is as important as a basic understanding of chemistry and physics
you shouldn't have people in government asking if Guam can flip over and other nonsense
> The interesting thing he never talks about is helping the students land employment!
if we really want to help people get employment the we need to stop degree inflation
a college degree should not be a requirement for most jobs
and we should eliminate loans for all BS degrees , like that masters in film
