California universities do not teach American history? That’s factually and demonstrably false.

Take Berkeley for example. They’ve got multiple professors teaching American history from 1607 and after.

They may not teach American history the way that Santorum wants them taught but that’s a separate and distinct statement, but that’s the implication here as well.

It’s about the history Santorum wants to push, and it’s a mix of revisionism and wishful thinking along with a lack of critical thinking.

Had Obama made a gaffe like that, everyone in the right wing would have been on it like moths to the flame. With Santorum, these get a shrug-off. It’s nuts. And Santorum’s nuts too.
