With the way dead white males get vilified nowadays, it almost makes me afraid to die. And with the way true education is being killed off, you may be afraid to send your kids to school.
A generation ago we heard the chant, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western culture’s gotta go!” And it’s going, alright. One of the more recent casualties was the University of California at Los Angeles’ humanities program, which until 2011 was one of the last bastions of traditional Western scholarship in the humanities. Rick Moran at American Thinker recently covered this, and quoting a Wall Street Journal piece he writes:
Where previously, undergrads would have to take one course studying Chaucer, 2 for Shakespeare, and one on Milton, a "revolt" by junior faculty forced "a mandate that all English majors take a total of three courses in the following four areas: Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Disability and Sexuality Studies; Imperial, Transnational, and Postcolonial Studies; genre studies, interdisciplinary studies, and critical theory; or creative writing."

This column reaffirms my assertion that those who call themselves "progressives" are actually REgressive and retrograde.
Those who call themselves liberals are truly liberal only when it comes to perverted sex, narcotics and violent crime. In every other respect they are fascist busybodies masquerading as do-gooders (see Jonah Goldberg's masterpiece "Liberal Fascism" or Ann Coulter's "Mugged" or Ben Shapiro's "Bullies").
Those who self-admit that they are Leftists are actually Leninists and Stalinist.
Excellent column.
