Bio
I'm a 39 year old (happily) married guy (no kids) with a flexible schedule and lots of opinions. I was born and raised on the religious right, but now I live on the secular left. (Sorry, mom!) I'm interested in pop culture, politics, religion, the culture wars, and philosophy (among other things).

Do They "Teach the Controversy" at Beck University?

Rate: 1 Flag

In an effort to get some of the idiocy including the school curriculum's the right-wing contantly claims they just want school's to "teach the controversy" over matters of political controversy.  (Whether there is a scholarly controversy seems to be of little importance to them.)  Classes over at Beck University have started up but it doesn't quite look like "teaching the controversy" is a part of its approach to education.

In fact, it looks like it's completely one-sided approach to teaching, doesn't it? It seems to me anybody with a basic understanding of the actual historical record and relevant documents can see through this nonesense.

Well, that leaves out Beck's audience.
