Rick Santorum: 'Seven Or Eight' California State Schools Don't Teach American History

This week in Wisconsin, dead horse of the presidential race Rick Santorum decided to tell a crowd that the problem with higher education, once again, is that it is too high. Too curious. Too too . This must be stopped, with more lessons about how America is the best, or was, for a few years (all of them Clinton years). Santorum's latest method of slandering non-agoraphobic schooling methods is to claim that the entire UC system is anti-American because it does not teach American history, even though it does and so actually isn't. Santorum's one saving grace: one of the UC schools doesn't teach American history ... because it is a medical school. 

So, add to Santorum's American locales hate list (on which Los Angeles and New York hold the top positions): ALL OF CALIFORNIA! What has that vast broke desert full of winos done for America lately?

Here is a crappy but ultimately illustrious video of the remarks:

So, Santorum's idea of citing facts (something that he would know how to do if he had gone to -- oh yes, right, he did go to college, snooty pig, AND THEN HE WENT TO "BUSINESS" SCHOOL, AND THEN HE WENT TO "LAW" SCHOOL) is "I was just reading something last night" [on Daily Caller]. That's fine, but only because it is funny.

Now it is time for some liberally minded Americans to stomp their feet and deign to correct Santorum's idiotic counting skills:

In fact, of the 10 UC system schools, just one (San Francisco) doesn’t offer American history courses. But that’s because it doesn’t offer any humanities courses at all — it’s a medical school. Meanwhile, Berkeley, Irvine, Davis, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz all offer numerous American history courses. Some even require students to take U.S. history before they can graduate.

 Yes, but, says the possessor of three higher education degrees, who has gotten so bafflingly far in life not thanks to education, but to babies, ladies, God and freedom:  it doesn't matter. No one can save [location that is categorically different from the place in which I am currently campaigning].  [Think Progress]
