This is major, and should be highlighted in some major way.

This is a major institution of learning actively suppressing important knowledge.

This is major.

There’s got to be someway to highlight this in the public mind.

The patients are not happy so the “doctors” give them candy instead of something that can actually help them learn to appreciate art.

But I bet they won’t go after drugs discovered and developed by white folks (or will they?)

The Taliban artillery is standing by to demolish the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, the Guggenheim, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Sistine Chapel, etc, etc, etc.

Yale will be happy.

Once Civil War II is over, we will have to re-conquer and liberate the Northeast and the West from Marxist oppression like this. There are Marxist professors that will have to be jailed and/or executed for their crimes against the people of the United States, depending on the severity of the crimes. It’ll be Nuremberg all over again.

Maybe they need a course on the history of eugenics and explain the forced sterilization programs and US laws.

The radical Left wing have been slowly chipping away for decades because they get away with it.

You have Recucklicans ..... Opps I mean limp wrists that always bending over to the Lefts every radical fantasy, that think

“if we just let the Left rape our education and our culture, then they these communists will finally leave us alone.”

I am talking about the real wimps. You know the George Will types. Pseudo intellectuals that want to be loved by the heavy Left and the Fake Stream Media. The easily push overs beta males in other words. The Republicans with Stockholm syndrome.

Negotiating with Leftist only embolden the communist to take more until our Society is gone. This is why crap like this happens.

How do they know all those old white guys were straight?

My senior year at college I needed another humanities class to meet requirements. The European art 1800-present I wanted was full; I had to go with a class on art from about 1200-1800. It was not easy. Besides having to take essay tests, we had to be able to identify hundreds of pieces visually. At my Big-10 school, education and cultural geography classes were favored by football players. I was in a CG class with practically the whole football team. We were going to have an essay test on a Carlos Casteneda book. I started reading it the night before. My husband said the author was a phony and took the book and started reading it. I fell asleep. The next morning I asked my husband to give me a synopsis of it. I took the test and got an A - that’s how easy that class was.

I always have the feeling when I go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art that the curator there must be a racist. The European section is filled with all manner of beautiful artworks. But the African section is small and is filled with stuff that mostly looks like a bunch of Elementary School Art Projects. Surely they must be hiding all the great African stuff.

Next, Harvard Law will ditch laws written by white males, then use that as an excuse to ditch Dershowitz.

Went back to college late in life.

Took this course from our community college despite being focused on pre-engineering courses.

Turned out to be one of my favorite classes. Well done. Put the history of western civilization into a perspective that integrated the relationship between art, architecture, politics, science and religion over the ages.

Provided the information and context to truly appreciate western cultural evolution. Invaluable in understanding and appreciationg the art and architecture in terms of the times they were created.

Tragic that this is being eliminated. This class enriched my life as much if not more than all the math, science, physics, and engineering courses I studied.

The only way to reach leftist havens like Yale is to go after their endowment.

White men gave it to them, white men should take it away.

Ole Miss late 70s

For six hours of electives filling I took first aid and military science in compressed summer classes

The teachers were Vietnam vets and were enjoying teaching at ole miss....I think they were working on post graduate

I’m not sure how college military adjuncts like rotc etc are staffed?

It was a very fun time

My girlfriend had moved into a cabin with me in a forest near Oxford and I did class from 8-11 in mornings and we had all after noon to swim or hang out

And nights to enjoy Oxford night life where we knew everybody

Wall Doxey state park had a beach and platform dive board

No cares for a few months playing house.....I graduated august

She always made me do my upper level Spanish courses homework for my minor at night before any recreation

I always suspected my dad told her to hold my feet to the fire discipline wise to graduate those last few hours

You fall behind on 400 level Spanish lit and you’re cooked in a summer course

Never knew I’d look back now on that brief 3-4 months as one of the best of my life....old age sure brings the rear view mirror into focus

Can’t they just claim that a lot of the artists were actually homosexuals (whether there is any evidence for it or not)? Then it would not just be straight white males.
