Another surrender to the SJW (Social Justics Warrior) mob. Hey ho, hey ho, Western Civ has got to go!!!

But Reed College on the list of debt-bubble fed colleges which will die during the next economic downturn.

Their African Studies classes were a bit too afrocentric for my liking as well.

My daughter is a freshman in HS, and an honor student.

That said, she thought Abraham Lincoln had something to do with the fall of the Soviet Union...

McEducations...

When I went to college they did not allow students to make-up words.

I'm surprised Reed College has a mandatory course in Western civilization in 2018. I was on the campus in 1965, and at that time, it was already a hotbed of leftism. The People's World, a Communist Party newspaper, was readily available on the campus, and the students and faculty treated Comrade Pete Seeger like the rest of the country treated Elvis Presley or the Beatles.

[Red Badger]

Uh, it’s called ‘Western Civilization’ for a reason.

Not African Civ or Asian Civ..................

Caucasoid? Do we still use that word as it seems that we have taken negroid off the acceptable list at the request of the the celestial word police.And God forbid anyone who refers to colored people other than the only authorized entity with permission to do so - the NAACP

So they're going to replace Plato w/ what?

So they're going to replace Machiavelli w/ what?

So they're going to replace Shakespeare w/ what?

So they're going to replace Locke w/ what?

The further Reed strays from its historic classical (great books) education model, the weaker they become. Even with their leftist focus, they were once a great small college. That is quickly passing. Yet the Trustees continue to be blind to this very obvious shift and will be left wondering (in the next couple of years) why enrollment has plunged. Sad.

Too Caucazoid and Eurocentric"?

Well, maybe that's because “Caucasoid” and “Eurocentric” describe the history of Western Civilization. That's it.

These are the same self-loathing pale-skinned trust fund babies that really believe that being white is shameful.

We need to teach these losers that to the rest of us, calling white people "racist" is the equivalent of calling a black person a "nigger". It is an epithet, and it may provoke a violent reaction.

Kids have heads full of mush. Why should they get to dictate the terms of their education?

[Deplorable American1776]

What part of Western don’t they understand? The Western part is Europe...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And would they protest that a Eastern Civ class is too Mongoloid and Asiacentric?

Where are all the skyscrapers built by African tribes?
The mideast? Asia?
They were designed by British and US engineers.
