Yale Students Tell English Profs: Too Many White M...
"Two thoughts here; The reason why they find it hostile, is that
Western/English Literature forces them to perform what is an unnatural
and very painful act for these special snowflakes, namely thinking!
They
like many of their peers are operating under the belief that any thing
that happened before they were born is not worth bothering with since
there is absolutely nothing those dead white males can teach them. To acknowledge the classical
greats is to also acknowledge that some writers are better than others,
hence this is unequal and by extension "unfair".
Lest I forget, to
fully understand and appreciate the great writers of the past, requires
work, effort and time by the reader. This is very unwelcome in the age
of short attention spans, instant every thing and a culture that focused
on mass appeal at the basest of appeal.
Once again a great poet was overlooked; Kipling!
If
this is the best that a student attending Yale can propose and the
faculty condones and would give consideration to, then, attending Yale
is a waste of time and money. It is possible to "graduate" from a
university such as the once great Yale and still be an uncivilized,
mal-educated barbarian. My apologies to barbarians of the past, if I
have offended and insulted you by comparing you to a current Yale
student."
