Here's how important the humanities once were: in Jan 87 at Stanford, after Jesse Jackson spoke, the marchers didn't denounce Reagan, Republicans or capitalism. No, they attacked the local humanities requirement, "Western Culture" ("Hey hey, ho ho, Western Culture's got to go!").

This is the presumption of liberals—we aren’t political, we’re just intelligent, clear-sighted, evidence-based—and the really remarkable thing is that they actually believe it.

Who would have thought corporate America was so vulnerable to the politicization of commerce? Once again, the left was way out in front.

"The truth is that most of what is presented today as sociological knowledge to college students, in Florida and everywhere else, is straightforward political propaganda from the far Left."

Training Future Activists

The Florida Board of Governors is correct that sociology circa 2023 aims to turn students into bitter social justice warriors.

Do DC Republican leaders realize that Republican voters are a lot more angry at them than they are at AOC, Nancy P, Chuck S, Joe B, Kamala H...? Incensed and infuriated, fed up and feeling like chumps, and unwilling and unlikely to forget?

As long as Republicans are tied to corporations, the drift of the country leftward will continue.

Who in the Trump Administration should be told of this nonsense? Is there a Republican Senator willing to stand up and declare the whole idea of “diversity training” a pernicious exercise of thought control?

To stop this, we must call this out for what it is: racism masquerading as antiracism. President Trump should immediately issue an executive order banning federal contracts that teach the toxic principles of critical race theory, race essentialism, and neo-segregationism. /end

Check the numbers in Caldwell’s essay. They show that Donald Trump was the best working-class president in a long, long time.

It may turn out that Donald Trump was the one force keeping the Democratic Party together.

In my long experience in academia as both liberal and conservative, the most exclusionary personalities I encountered were the ones praising “inclusion” the loudest, and the most coercively conformist egos were the ones calling for more “diversity.”

Anyone who thinks it is Donald Trump who has radicalized the left has not paid any attention to what has been happening in academia, Silicon Valley, newsrooms, and the arts/entertainment world for the last 25+ years.

It is clear that the elimination of Western Civ courses was not for a rich diverse multiculturalism. Kids know little more of other traditions than they did before, but they know a lot less about the great works, ideas, events, and people of the West. That was the precise aim.

I remember when establishment conservatives regarded radicals in education as the “loony left” who would never gain an inch in society at large.
