'...As it stands, the anthropology class will reportedly focus on “the intersection of race,
class, gender, ethnicity and sexuality; the political economy of institutions and ideas,
such as racism, classism, sexual stereotyping, family, religion, state, color blindness,
multiculturalism, etc.; and, discourses of cultural diversity in the U.S.”...
The College Fix.
...Sacramento State history professor Joseph Palermo, who teaches a course that currently fulfills
the requirement, wrote a scathing opinion piece in which he attacked the idea that an anthropology
class is an acceptable substitute, writing an op-ed in the Sacramento Bee that:
The new introductory “history” course leaves out, among other things, the Progressive Era, World War I,
women’s suffrage, the Great Depression, FDR, the New Deal, World War II, McCarthyism, the Cold War,
the Korean War, the nuclear arms race, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination, Freedom Summer,
the United Farm Workers Union, the Vietnam War, Stonewall, Watergate, Second Wave Feminism,
the Iranian hostage crisis, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Gulf War, globalization, the 9/11 attacks, and
the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Swapping an anthropology course for American history will leave our freshmen and sophomores little
understanding of how American institutions have changed through time; how events such as World
War I and II transmuted those institutions; and how the historical context altered the balance of power
between the branches of the federal government andbcontributed to the rise of the United States as a
global superpower. …
