'Courage can be contagious, even if it's in really small doses': Universities begin to push back - Velshi - MSNBC

1. The WH taking over curriculums at universities is more than concerning.

While a certain demographic will concentrate on science, technology, and business, there will students who opt for alternative studies. I mean the Humanities, a/k/a Liberal Arts.

Now knowing pretty much how TSF "thinks" (if ever), he'd be against anything that was liberal without understanding what it means.

And the next thing you know, there will be a list of books that can't be assigned on a syllabus, such as The Prince (Machiavelli), Utopia (More), and Essays by Montaigne, all pre-Enlightenment. (I still have mine 50 years after college.) Then the authors of The Enlightenment and the early American theorists (Thomas Paine) and essays from The Federalist Papers (Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison).

While I believe these readings are woefully neglected as is right now, to have them banned from higher education is unconscionable.

While there will be students who will never miss their omission, it will be an incremental death of culture and history.
