Entry: Defund the Humanities Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/defund_the_humanities#28082 Post contents: John, I just want to say how glad I am to have read this. I can confirm that anyone (especially heterosexual middle-class white males)attracted to humanities in the traditional sense, who have a love for preternaturally strong personalities and 'the best that has been thought and written', are either converted or (more likely) ostracized by departments of Literature-- even in the South, even at lesser schools, where it isn't some Old Guard that still naively presides, but where the faculty is stuffed with the shabbiest radicals unfit for more prestigious institutions.
