What is it that students are expected to learn during their tour in the monasteries of Liberalism, universities?
The most important understanding is that
the hard Left, the Marxist Left, controls secular society. A close look at contemporary mania for ‘political correctness’ reveals its derivation from Marxist ‘revolt against oppression’- but only certain groups are certified as ‘the oppressed.’ And the basis for certification is
race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
With Liberals in charge....truth has no bearing.
15. " Compare the humanists' hunger for learning with the resentment of a Columbia University undergraduate, who had been required by
the school's core curriculum to study Mozart. She happens to be black, but her views are widely shared, to borrow a phrase, "across gender, sexuality, race and class."
"Why did I have to listen in music humanities to this Mozart?" she groused in a discussion of the curriculum reported by David Denby in "Great Books," his 1997 account of re-enrolling in Columbia's core curriculum. "
My problem with the core is that it upholds the premises of white supremacy and racism. It's a racist core. Who is this Mozart, this Haydn, these superior white men? There are no women, no people of color." These are not the idiosyncratic thoughts of one disgruntled student; they represent
the dominant ideology in the humanities today.
a. "Is Schuman content with a situation in which a Columbia student rails against having been asked merely to
listen to
Mozart because Mozart is a dead white male? Where might that student have picked up that attitude if not from the academy and its offshoots?
Whiteness studies, black studies, feminist studies, and queer studies are not a fever dream of the “neocons.”
For decades now, students have been taught to search for an echo of their own “voices” in the books they read and to reject those works that they believe “exclude” them, a remarkably narrow approach to the arts... Why not revel in the far more eloquent and surprising “voices” of Dreiser, Beerbohm, or Wells, for example, whose understanding of human passions and ability to craft sentences of stunning beauty and precision far outstrip our own?."

Answer: they are expected to learn only to be
good little Liberals....and to
never....never...think for themselves.
