I watched this movie scene again (referenced in the earlier discussion) and you know,
This scene actually seems to capture collegiate indoctrination pretty accurately.
The teacher is bored as heck with the content? Check. So of course he isn’t going to teach the content with the zeal it deserves.
The teacher misses a huge part of what the content is about? Check. The teacher doesn’t believe in individual liberty, the teacher believes in absolute government. So any portions of any Milton work, all you’ll get is either what you saw in the video or you’ll get the most super dry and most super boring litany of names/dates memorization.
What did who say in what year?
What did who build in what year?
Etc etc.
The left does on purpose. This is exactly how they indoctrinate. They make all the good stuff as boring as they can possibly make it, but then the stuff they do like?
Boy do they get fired up and energetic about it.
(Note: Yes, this particular work is a little more allegorical but my point stands about the larger picture of how educators would treat authors they disdain)
