Yale University announced this week that it is killing off a popular art history course after students claimed that they were “uneasy” over the course’s focus on white male artists.
According to a report from Yale Daily News, Yale University announced this week that the popular course, “Introduction to Art History: Renaissance to the Present,” will no longer be offered.
Students criticized the course over its alleged over-emphasis on European art. The students argued that the course should focus on influential art from countries around the world. Shortly thereafter, Yale officials pulled the plug on the course.

You know that Breitbart isn't actual news, right? It's just sensationalism and lies designed to get people all riled up.

From the Yale Daily News, and I quote.

Decades old and once taught by famous Yale professors like Vincent Scully, “Introduction to Art History: Renaissance to the Present” was once touted to be one of Yale College’s quintessential classes. But this change is the latest response to student uneasiness over an idealized Western “canon” — a product of an overwhelmingly white, straight, European and male cadre of artists.

Should be titled "Students demand to remain uneducated."

Why is the course popular? I’m sure it’s an elective and they are not required to take it.

Are they not aware going in that the art world is dominated by white Europeans? They were shocked by this?
