[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP and that's ridiculous.

I think there's really a two-front war in defending the integrity of the university.

On the right, you have those who want to teach sanitized history or creationism.

[b]Then there's the woke left who want think the proper teaching of the humanities should be replaced by faddish identity politics.[/b]

I reject both.[/quote]

Answer these two questions regarding your bolded statement, Comrade:

- What is the "proper" teaching of literature, precisely.

- Who in academia believes that.  Please focus on your word "replace" and provide evidence.  Academics write papers for a living so it should not be hard for you.[/quote]

Sounds like you do not know anything about studying literature, otherwise you could engage with her opinion. So, how do you think literature has been engaged with in the far and near past? Why did this engagement evolve in this way. Why should this type of engagement be dismissed or not dismissed.

If all you know is what you see now and say this is now and that is all that matters, you are not able to discuss this topic as an educated person would (or at least some educated before say 2015 or so)[/quote]

And the reasons you went ad hominem and didn’t answer the questions are obvious.

Answer the questions.[/quote]
