Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Mickey, you gotta be kidding: The Harlem Renaissance defined solely in terms of numbers???? ----- Original Message ----- From: Mickey VanDerwerker To: ARN-L@LISTS.CUA.EDU Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 3:42 PM Subject: More history from VA My sixth grader brought home his event timeline to memorize today. I am putting them in the "correct" order as defined by VA so that you history revisionists out there will know the "right" answer. Mickey 1. reconstruction 2. Westward expansion 3. immigration 4. industrialization 5. urbanization 6. spanish american war 7. ww1 8. roaring twenties 9. Harlem renaissance (defined as: the numbers of blacks in america doubled in size) 10. prohibition 11. suffrage 12. great depression (my son's note: women wanted to vote so men got depressed) 13. New Deal 14. WW 2 15. Holocaust (hitler's rule caused the death of 6 million Jews-only jews) 16. The use of nuclear weapons 17. cold war 18. korean war 19. civil rights 20. vietnam war 21. collapse of communism And that's US History from 1877 to present. Have a good day. Mickey
