Wuli, what to do? Use John Senior’s 1,000 Good Books. http://www.kofc15693.org/john-seniors-list-of-1000-good-books/
YOU are now preaching to the choir. Just as to me the report is preaching to the choir here on FreeRepublic.
That does not make the report unworthy or useless. It still has good purpose, outside of those of us that have encountered so many sources demonstrating how lousy academia in the U.S. is.
But for the sheeple, the report is better than merely saying: “Use John Senior’s 1,000 Good Books.”, because the critique of the professor is from inside academia. It is more likely to be read by the people than some statement that attempts to tell someone all the good books they should read. The sheeple don’t understand that that is not what academia is already doing. They are stuck in the myth that academia has sold the public on, that it is professional, unbiased, expert, and the top of its class. And it has been very successful selling that myth.
The sheeple don’t need a simpleton’s lecture that says “here, read these 100 books”. They need to understand how academia is operating, how it has an embeded political orthodoxy that denies as invalid anything not inside that bubble, and that preaches propaganda and does not teach.
It began in the humanities and is now rapidly spreading in STEM courses.
