Bernard Goldberg
Authors Argument -
Goldberg argues that Kozol is brainwashing Americas minds. He thinks that Kozol is pushing for a more liberal approach to teaching in America thus, producing more biased children into society.
" He says teachers should ... United States would say" (pg 295)
1. This is evidence of Kozol's thinking
" Most lunch table ... why should i be so enthusiastic about our country?" (pg 293)
1. i picked this basically because i used to sit at my lunch table and debate the same thing in high school. we debated why we should care about a country that doesn't care about the people in it, especially the lower class ones.
2. Kozol basically spoke about how the lower class people in america get crap. which this article and myself would talk about
"We are taught ... don't seem to worry about offending Americans" (pg 294)
1. I feel like that isnt really true. i feel like the text books just say whatever they say and don't really offend our country or others.
2. this made me think of the olympics for some reason. i felt that during the womens gymnastics, one of our anchor women was bashing her (the US team) really really bad. she was picking out ALL of our flaws and when it came time for the chinese, she applauded them for everything, never pointed out mistakes and when there was mistakes she was like AWW! thats ok! they're great!!! like... way to show for your country lady. i thought my mother was going to jump through the TV to Bejing and kick her arse.
k so overall i thought this article was a bore. the other article caught my interest and i LOVED it. but this one was politics this, complaining about that. it sucked to me. Also, i thought it was too short to grab worth while quotes from and i felt like my quality of quote choosing lacked from that. o well.
