Critics: African-American Studies Have Leftist Slant

FOXNews [1] is running a story today suggests, among other things, a quote from Armstrong Williams….

“‘Too often black history is hijacked by racial hucksters who use it not as a platform for social activism, but as a stage to shout about victimization and retribution,’ “

And another:

“Black history month, when it originally came to fruition, was an attempt to instill some pride because there was a belief that American history in general and world history did not appropriately recognize the contributions of blacks,” said Niger Innis, national spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality (search), one of America’s oldest civil rights groups. “But it devolved into an ideological left-wing rant.”

This is what I’d like to see a national debate on.
