Neo-Con Fellow at The Hoover Institute at Stanford University and his professional political projection

 

Hey, Neo-Con * Fellow at The Hoover Institute at Stanford University; Prof. It was your university that ditched the study of Western Civilisation as an academic requirement for graduation and so it is your own university which is in part responsible for the ignorance you decry.

But, it is much easier to blame others, isn't it?

Jesse Jackson and students protest Western Culture program on Palm Drive, photograph, 1987

By the mid-1980s, increasing dissatisfaction with the introductory humanities program known as “Western Culture” that had begun in 1980 came to the fore. The program was criticized for its lack of diversity and its predominantly Eurocentric readings. Students advocated for a curriculum that included ethnic minority and women authors. On January 15, 1987, as many as 500 students, along with the Reverend Jesse Jackson, rallied down Palm Drive chanting, "Hey hey, ho ho, Western Civ has got to go." The curriculum debate drew national attention, and in 1989 Western Culture was formally replaced with the Cultures, Ideas, & Values (CIV) program that included more inclusive works on race, class, and gender.
