This can't be real.
>>60320631
how do people like that get into yale?
>>60321637
>how do people like that get into yale?
Their parents are alums and/or filthy rich.
You don't go to Yale for the education so much as for the connections.
>>60321637
affirmative action
>>60320631
How is this communism? Are you retarded?
All that racial profiling garbage are exclusive in the US simply because you cannot accept that the inequality issues are a result of capitalism, not some distant history bullshit.
>>60322181
Don't try to reason with third world reactionaries
who cares
>>60321637
They don't, this is affirmative action
>too many fucking white male authors is the problem
>not the ridiculous debt required for all but the ultra-wealthy to attend and graduate Yale
>not that most Ivy League graduates come from families in the wealthiest 5% of the population
The Left is dead.
>>60322181
>How is this communism?
Lack of meritocracy and affirmative actions.
>wanting to get rid of Chaucer
faggots can't even middle english
>>60322181
SHUT UP, ALL OF THIS LEFTIST GARBAGE FROM FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES SPREAD LIKE CANCER HERE.
Can't be real.
>>60322239
Whoah! We are such third world reactionaries! You must be the enlightened one!
>>60322471

Yeah, stupid goy. Everything free for everyone would solve that problem. Embrace the state.

"According to Lenin, “He who does not work shall not eat” is a necessary principle under socialism, the preliminary phase of the evolution towards communist society. The phrase appears in his 1917 work, The State and Revolution. Through this slogan Lenin explains that in socialist states only productive individuals could be allowed access to the articles of consumption."

It's great that the students are trying to broaden their horizons, but I believe this is the wrong way of going about this. Just suggest that other authors be studied as well.
The reason those people were studied in the first place is because their works have stood the test of time, and still appeal to people today.
I believe that simply because they were white male scholars (which admittedly gave them an advantage) does NOT mean that their work should be discredited. It is studied for a reason. Let me know what you guys think.

>trying to broaden their horizons
I don't think that's what's happening here.
now even the top tier educational institutions are being infected and more "safe spaces" are demanded for all the retarded and clueless millennial babies
when are you going to put a stop to this cancer? looking away or ignoring it is not working at all

They're not trying to broaden their horizons, they're trying to censor FuCkinG WHIte MaLes

Silly monkey man.

There has been a growing reaction to this too, professors are getting sick of it because it's making impossible to teach and stifling open academic discussion.

That's not it and anybody who even tries to understand their position could see it.
Their entire point is that nonwhite and female authors have been ignored in favour of white male ones. Except the obvious solution what >>60322727 said, add some new books to the curriculum but don't scrap other stuff just because it was written by white men.
>>60322913
"Top tier educational institutions" are where all this shit comes from. Only the children of the rich and influential have the free time and resources to study useless bullshit like Critical Theory in an Ivy League school.
They take on the mantle of "activists" to try and distance themselves from the fact that they are actually the only really "privileged" people in the country.
>>60322996
>don't tread on us
Pure cringe.
>>60322706
Tell this to people who call themselves socialists these days.
>>60322996
It is not, silly snowcuck.
>>60324274
>Brazil
Pure cringe.
This must be the exact same kind of retardation and degeneracy the Western Roman Empire was going through in its' last days. Have you seriously gotten rid of all of your problems that you've started inventing them?

Expressing freedom of speech, that's all this is.
