A few days ago, I had published a commentary titled, “The Case for Multiculturalism”.  In that earlier article, I, (unlike many within the Academy and mainstream Media), was able to distinguish, Multiculturalism from Political Correctness.  I elaborated on how and why multiculturalism and political correctness were and are not complimentary ideologies and policies.  I argued on multiculturalism’s behalf whereby I made the case for its truly equitable nature; a true multicultural historical education is comfortable in juxtaposing the magnificent accomplishments of Western Civilization alongside non-Western civilizations.  Such an intellectual juxtaposition neither undermines, nor trivializes Western historical education; if anything, it actually broadens and enhances our knowledge of Global history.

Let’s, for example, take British colonial History; a Traditionalist may wish to study and romanticize the purely English and British political and cultural achievements of the Victorian Age, but pay little or no attention to the cultural character of its multinational subjects. Conversely, a pro PC-(Political Correctness) Radical would either dismiss the British Colonial period altogether or romanticize the cultural achievements of the colonized, while simutaneously attacking the Colonizer-(in this case, the British Empire).  As you can see, none of these perspectives are balanced, nor do they represent the entire historical reality.  Why not begin with a traditional study of British Colonial History and yes, include some lessons and discussions on the religious and ethno-racially diverse cultures of India, the Middle East and the Americas?  And when I say include, I do NOT! mean an anecdotal reference, nor do I mean an pan-ethnocentric approach towards the historically colonized, I mean a truly thorough and comprehensive inclusion that balances out the historial reality and presents itself as the most honest and sincerest of historical narratives…………….a type of historical symbiosis.

But, why I should be so optimistic or mindlessly hopeful? Individuals and yes, institutions, in particular, have agendas.  For the Traditionalists, they refuse to “give an inch” and similarly, the PC Radicals are just as bad, if not worse. The Traditionalists will continue to favor and romanticize the unquestionable supremacy of Western Civilization and yes, the PC Radicals will continue to favor and romanticize the unquestionable supremacy of non-Western civilizations.  The Traditionalists, are, in short, a group of xenophobic intellectuals who loathe and fear even the slightest alteration or transition towards a more conciliatory approach to History; however, the PC Radicals, in short, also loathe and fear the slightest effort to preserve the legacy of the West.

As you can see, I am no fan of the Traditionalists-(or even Pan-Traditionalists) with regard to Historical Education, however, the title of the article is, “The Case Against Political Correctness” and not, “The Case Against Historical Traditionalists”-(though admittedly, it does sound like a good title for a future article).  Thefore, the focus of my criticism is against PC  radicalism.

Political Correctness, is the enemy of academic freedom and expression; its insidious nature has led to a new type of rhetorical policing which, in reality, has actually eradicated the art of higher discourse and instead, has systematically polluted our classrooms, lecture halls and journals.  The pollutants, are the ususal suspects………………….agenda driven pan-leftist hounds whose bark is equal to-(and not “bigger than”) their bite; that is to say, a type of rhetorical policing which, (sadly), is supported by institutional policy. 

So why is this the case? Why is it that American historical learning is now directly associated with Political Correctness? Well, in order to better understand Political Correctness, you need to understand the mindset of its intelligentsia; that is to say, the ideas and temperaments of its leaders and most ardent supporters.  Political Correctness, is a philosophy rooted in activism and social justice; its primary (and sanctimonious) mission is to deliver, fulfill and above all, enforce, a type of academically oriented social justice whereby the historically victimzed and disenfranchised, are now given equal and even superior representation within our history texts and classrooms.  In a way, Political Correctness is the new missionary movement of our age, whereby Educators, Lecturers and Administrators are systematically converting, inculcating and assimilating young and impressionable minds into a way of thinking and behaving that reflects their righteously utopic world view; (luckily, some of these students, after graduation and when entering the workforce and into life, are able to rid themselves of these toxins and pollutants which infected them during that 4 year period).

Now when I say, “Pan-Leftists”,  I am actually not criticizing the Marxists, but instead, focusing more on the insane Post-Modernists; the Marxists, have been and are still primarily obsessed with the fulfillment and enactment of social or really, economic justice through the Communist Philosophy, while the Post-Modernists, are, to the left of the Marxists, (if you can even imagine that).  It is really the lunacy of Post-Modern Philosophy and Educational Policy making that has facilitated and given shelter to Politcal Correctness; a warped philosophy which rabidly opposes traditional/(Aristotelian oriented) Epistemology, but instead, offers us, an insane relativistic philosophy which proudly eviscerates the ideas of truth and logical exposition…………….except, of course, for the truth and logical supremacy of relativism!  It is the Post-Modernists-(and their Marxist allies), who have acquired the reins of academic power and in turn, have been deliberately orienting and training their students into Dogmatic Moral Commentators and Social Activists, rather than training and orienting our students towards a more Objective-(yes, I still use the word, “objective”!) study of Historical Reality.

Historians are not! missionary or priestly figureheads, nor are they Ethics Professors, Peace Corps Directors or Community Organizers.  Certainly moral commentary can accompany any historical discussion and such an ethical commentary is welcoming-(so long as it is consistent with the presentation of reliable historical evidence).  Historians have never been universally dispassionate or morally absentious in their analyses……………..(remember the old phrase, “History is written by the winners”)?  However, the primary function and duty of the Historian, is to present a historical reality and temporal account that can be carefully researched and affirmed…………………..and not! to cheerlead for a historical mythology that is mendaciously and scandalously revised for the purpose of promoting a socially (and seemingly more eqitably) just cause.

Let the Ministers, Moral Philosophy Professors, Theologians, Peace Corps Directors and Community Organizers assume the burden of fulfilling and delivering justice to the historically disenfranchised; Historians can CO-participate and contribute to the moral discourse, so long as they remain loyal to their profession and NEVER allow themselves to degenerate into rambling, babbling store front preachers “with an axe to grind”…………………………as advocated, justified, defended and proudly celebrated by Political Correctness.

When I was coming of age during the early 1990′s, I was undergoing a major intellectual and cultural transformation.  Like many Americans of my generation I was the product of a traditional secondary school education, especially with regard to History.  My High School History curriculum was conservatively structured; it consisted of the classic topics, such as U.S. History, European History, as well as Western Civilization to the year 1500.  Yet, the histories of several other civilizations were never included into the larger curriculum or were, (at best), given anecdotal status.  Our class learned about the lives and campaigns of the Conquisatdores, yet little time was spent covering Aztecan culture and history.  We learned about the birth and Fall of Constantinople, yet the 1100 years in between was somehow………….conveniently omitted.  As for Islam, our class learned about the Crusades, as well as the fall of Grenada, Spain………….and that’ s about it.  But perhaps the most inexcusible omission from our Secondary school curriculum, was regarding the ancient histories and cultures of Native Americans.  In retrospect, it was an academically sound, but incomplete historical and cultural secondary education; I graduated High School with a fairly good, though limited understanding of World History.  But that would change when I entered the University in the early 1990′s.  It was during this intellectually formative period that I began to support a buregoning academic movement called, “Multiculturalism”.

The word, “Multiculturalism”-(then, as well as now), is fraught with controversy.  Conservatives tend to use it as a pejorative and view it as a mindless cliche that is commonly uttered by fanatical Leftists.  Liberals tend to use the word within a more positive and representative context and often counter the Conservative criticism as being culturally myopic and intellectually xenophobic.  This very word has, in a way, served as the earliest pretext and foundation for America’s “Culture Wars”. 

I view Multiculturalism as a truly  democratic approach towards secondary and university based historical education; it was (and is still) a movement which was designed to advance our knowledge of several histories and cultures, as well as orient our students towards a more well rounded and realistic understanding of how the human historical experience was truly global in scope and subsequently debunking the myth of regional historical reality.  A multicultrual history curriculum would teach our students the ABC’s of the Roman Empire, as well as focusing on various cultures and subcultures within Rome’s vast, TRI-continental empire, such as the Phoenicians, the Berbers, the Etruscans and the Illyrians.  Such an approach would discuss and detail the glory days of 5th century BC/BCE Athens, while also focusing on and closely examining the magnificent cultural contributions of Ancient colonial Persia. Students would continue learning about classic Western landmarks, such as the Pantheon, the Acropolis, the Eifel Tower and Canterbury Cathedral, while also learning about additional non-Western landmarks, such as the Alhambra, the Saint Sophia Cathedral, the Taj Mahal and Teotiuchan-(among many others). 

The key word,  is INCLUSION; an inclusive curriculum  which strives to represent a diversity of historical experiences, as well as making a consciously earnest effort to NEVER EXCLUDE the traditional western historical literature that many of my generation-(as well as our predecessors) received  during our early secondary school years; that exclusionary, tunnel vision approach is called, Political Correctness-(“PC”)……….an awful sounding pair of words which has NO place or role within the Multicultural historical narrative.  

Contrary to popular belief-(especially among several Conservatives), Political Correctness is NOT! synonymous with Multiculturalism; they are 2 very different and separate movements which have little, if anything, in common. The erroneous linkage and intersection of Multiculturalism and Political Correctness seriously undermines and even trivializes the altruistic aims of Multicultural education and pedagogy.  Political Correctness, is the draconian, anti-democratic, more militant wing of the multicultural movement; PC Activists are visibly hostile and adverse to teaching of any type of Western historical education.  The most extreme side of the PC movement favors the imposition of a non-Western based historical education whose primary aim is to eviscerate any vestiges of Western Civilization and History; (in other words, the historically powerless and disenfrachised, now become  the NEW and indestructible Power  Class).  The other less extreme, (but equally loathsome) sect of the PC movement wishes to preserve western historical education…………….but only as a target of perpetual censure and villification; (think of a pinata, whereby the PC Activists symbolize the stick, while the persons within Traditional Western History and Civilization represent the pinata).  In either case, Politcal Correctness has never been, is not, nor will ever be, an ally of Multiculturalism; Political Correctness resides in the deepest depths of the forest and will remain so………………………………………in perpetuity!

The PC Activists will never understand that it is possible to juxtapose the Western historical legacy with other non-Western histories-(It’s like the old American saying, “you can walk and chew gum at the same time”).  In contrast to the Politically Correct philosophy, the objective of a true multicultural education is to foster a more conciliatory cultural setting and atmosphere; this means a simultaneous representation of Western history, as well as the inclusion and intersection of additional (seemingly unrelated or partially related) histories.  Yes, I am of the school of thought which believes you can identify yourself as a Multiculturalist and still support the West……………it is not! an impossible under- taking.  Why not learn about Mesoamerica, China, Andalusia, Byzantium and India, while also learning about the Spanish Empire, Medieval Western Europe, the Italian Renaissance and the British Empire? Is there any currency gained in acquring a greater and more comprehensive knowledge of the globe’s diverse historical realities? Of course there is, especially during this rapidly changing internationalized  age that we are curently living in; I would dare say that a Multicultural historical education is more valuable and indisipensible than ever before.

The more global we are, the more culturally interconnected we become.  Commercial, business, as well as cultural exchanges currently encompass a larger and more complex demographic; therefore, when faced with such a present (and future) reality, what better preparatory measure to take than the adoption and enactment of a more culturally pluralistic secondary educational system.  The more informed students are, the better prepared they will be when living in a (seemingly unstoppable and irrerversible) globalized reality.

Multiculturalism has not, does not will, nor will ever compromise or threaten one’s national identity; one can still maintain a measured pride in his or her national identity, while also learning about his or her neighbors-(both near and distant).  National pride will not be threatened or undermined when adopting a more representative approach towards historical learning and literacy; instead, it will revitalize the historical process and broaden new cultural horizons for current and future generations of secondary school students. It is actually the creeping and more sinister presence of Political Correct ness which Traditionalists, Moderates and even Liberally minded Americans should EQUALLY fear and repudiate.

The case for Multiculturalism is not an easy persuasion process; it has and will contniue to attract ardent agenda driven opponents who will mistakingly (or deviously) misidentify it as an ally of Political Correctness; it has been and will continue to be met with fear and opposition from the extreme-minded.  However, if clearly defined as a distinct movement whose primary goal, objective and purpose is to expand the cultural and historical awareness of current and future generations of secondary school students, while also grounding them in traditional Western historical education, then I believe that a such a case can and will be greeted with optimism, hope and receptivity by the majority of sensibly minded Americans; it will be a Victory for Demoracy and Moderation and a devastating, (but welcoming) defeat for Militancy and Extremism.
