...From a PolitiFact article:
On the stump in Wisconsin on April 2, 2012, the Republican presidential candidate filled in his audience on something he was "just reading … last night."
"I think it’s seven or eight of the California system of universities don’t even teach an American history course. It’s not even available to be taught," he said. "Just to tell you how bad it's gotten in this country, where we're trying to disconnect the American people from the roots of who we are, so they have an understanding of what America should be."
Um, wrong. The only UC campus that doesn't offer an American history course is UC-San Francisco, which is a medical school.
I mean... UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine are all in the top 50 university rankings according to US News and World Reports. Seems weird that they wouldn't offer a single American history course to the over 139,000 undergraduate students who attend those campuses, ESPECIALY when all of those campuses offer a history major.
