If we are dumb enough to keep kneecapping virtually everything for the sake of wokeness, we deserve whatever we get as a society. When you keep lowering the bar for the sake of “inclusion” (whatever the frick that means), all it does is produce a weak product.

I don’t care who or what you are, just produce quality. How is this hard to figure out?

Lots of colleges did this with English Lit courses. You can get a degree in Lit without even touching Shakespeare.

In course work heavy in chemistry, physiology, and other sciences, I took 2 semesters in History of Western Art. That art centered in where art was created at the time: Europe. What the hell else were we supposed to study, Lesbian Interpretive Dance? European artists were male, they were white.

I truly enjoyed the course work and if any one else has an issue with it they can mangez merde.

ETA: Italian would be more appropriate here, can anyone help a fellow baw out?

LSU mid 80s, you took Western Civ. as a required (core) history course.

Pretty sure that's not the case any longer.

They should take it a step further and ban any art created by straight white men

English literature.

Maybe create art or literature that is worth a fricking shite and people will deem it worthy of study.

I bet they have an African something or other course. Are they going to scrap that, because of lack of diversity?

It is the renaissance for frick’s sake. It exclusively involved Europeans. Ridiculous...

You know that the story, FOUR frickING WORDS INTO IT, has a link to the Yale student newspaper saying exactly what the thread title says.

Every breath you take wastes oxygen.

edit: Oh, if you were being sarcastic my bad but I figure 8 posts so you are a lame alter.

If you are actually studying history, there is a tremendous amount of history which occurred outside of the European mainstream. But that doesn’t mean that European history isn’t also worth study. It all should be given serious academic attention.

You know that Yale isn’t actually a university anymore, right? It’s just a gulag for leftist indoctrination.

this type of anti-white indoctrination is taught very early. you don't even have to be a freshman in college to be exposed to it. the anti-white propaganda is everywhere you look in social media, news media, commercial advertising, and entertainment.

straight up ... the youth these days are brought up to believe that white skin = bad.

I get your problem with the "source" but there is usually a deeper source referenced

It's either the truth or it isn't. In this case it's the truth and a very stupid one.

Don't be a loser and hide behind the "OMG BIASED SOURCE" nonsense.

You sound every bit as stupid as anyone that is like "CNN TLDR"

Go frick yourself. You and everyone like you on both sides are worthless

Now that the article was shown to be absolutely accurate, you just made a highlight reel of how the left operates. You do a drive by insult, questioning and trying to throw shade on a news outlet because they are not some liberal hack source and you get smoked in the process because the lemming conditioning your side engages in ad nauseum.

Your side says it doesn't like stereotyping, but that's a huge element of how you operate in life. You lefties don't like stereotyping as long as it agrees with your point of view then if not, it's almost mandatory these days to stereotype in your circles.

But go on, keep this stuff up like all you good wittle socialists do and the conservatives/right will keep most the meaningful branches of government up and running in good hands in the meantime.

I took Western Civ my freshman year and really loved it. The old prof was amazing. He told us at the end of the session that this was the last class he'd ever teach. We figured that he was retiring.
He died from cancer the month after the class was over. He knew he was terminal and wanted to teach one last class.
