Ayn Rand has been marginalized by college English departments. Does she count?
Was it their Pride or our Prejudice that marginalized them?
Harvard does no better in their ‘law’ school.
At Harvard, this would be a Bible study.
Wait... does that mean they get to study dead, white men again?
Marginalized authors:
C.S. Lewis
G.K. Chesterton
Daniel Defoe
James Fennimore Cooper
Flannery O’Connor
Edmund Specer
Ben Johnson
My college roommate, who was black, applied to Harvard Medical School. She was accepted, and they sent her an invitation to a “Third World Weekend,” so that she could decide whether “a student like yourself” could adapt to the Harvard environment.
“Joy, they noticed you’re from Houston,” I said. She ended up going to UC-San Francisco, the only out-of-state student they accepted that year.
What’s next? A mandatory course in Ebonics?
A lot of times, authors are "marginalized" for very good reasons: They peddle crap, they write crap, or they can't really write, and only got published because of some mandate, not because they are profound, noteworthy, or are filling a profitable niche.
I'm guessing HRC and spawn scrivenings will be required reading.
Decades ago, college observers noted the English departments were where communists were given refuge.
How about Alex Haley, whose ROOTS is outrageously fraudulent and plaigrized from a (white) author?
Or Rigoberta Menchu, whose totally false “autobiography” that won her a Nobel Peace Prize?
This sounds like more of a hobby than something that would help you get a good paying job. I have my pick of authors to read from on the internet, library, etc. How much do they charge students per year?
my marginalized, i take it they are referring to authors such as rush limbaugh and ann coulter...
Aside from having nearly 400 years of good press and family connections, what is the advantage of a Harvard university degree? You could get a better education from the Khan Academy.
