Oh, Rush

Here's a multiple choice question for you regarding the brilliant Rush Limbaugh.

I have been doing some reading regarding the 'scandal' that broke out some years ago over national standards in American History.

It seems that those who devised them gave too much attention to those damn minorities and lesser-thans (you know immigrants, African Americans, Native Americans, and women) and not enough time to the traditional dead white guys. The writers of the standards were accused of focusing too much on the repressors' side of history and not the conquerers' side. Of course, this became a liberal vs. conservative issue (and what doesn't these days?).

Now both sides have legit points.

But let me devise a question that illustrates some of the brilliance of one overly conservative wag, Mr. Limbaugh.

When discussing the supposed liberal standards, what statement did Rush make -

A. The writers of the standards neglect a significant portion of popular history.
B. The standards are liberally biased.
C. The standards should be flushed down the toilet.
D. I am pleased that our students will at least be studying some form of history in high school!

I await your answers!
