Rantmaster Rush gets served

From the Chicago Sun Times:
Rush Limbaugh said on his nationally syndicated radio show that Evanston Township High School students "don't know anything about World War II" and "they've probably never heard the name Adolf Hitler" because they're so focused on a multicultural curriculum.
Some Evanston kids want to show Limbaugh what they know. They want to debate him on American history.
I'd watch this even if they put it on pay-per-view. Maybe the school should use this as a fundraiser.

This is how it all got started:
Limbaugh's comments came after he read a Christian Science Monitor article Tuesday that profiled global studies courses required at ETHS. Limbaugh railed against multicultural education generally and singled out the North Shore school.

"What multiculturalists is, is balkanizing this country," Limbaugh said Tuesday. "People are coming here from various parts of the world and they're bringing their cultures with them and the multiculturalists are saying 'your culture is better than the American culture. The American culture is discriminatory, it's racist, sexist, bigot, homophobic.' "
I doubt the London bookies will even offer odds on this one because they know our house-brand pundits have no intellectual cojones. And true to the breed:
Limbaugh's producer did not return a call on whether Limbaugh would agree to a debate.
