US History Gone Missing at Colleges
By Malcolm Kline —— Bio and Archives April 21, 2017
For years, we have watched American history disappear in academe. It turns out that we’re not the only ones who have noticed.
“I think in some ways I knew more American history when I finished grade school than many college students know today,” best-selling historian David McCullough said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “And that’s not their fault—that’s our fault.”
Indeed, when we meet college students, we find that they are curious about their history. Unfortunately, there are not too many institutions of higher learning they can go to in order to find it. Outside of university gates, McCullough’s books are a good place to look.
