Reed College Bows to the Bullies – Editorial

The WSJ Editorial Board writes: Reed College (OR) announced last week that it will overhaul its core humanities course after students claimed the curriculum’s focus on the classics “perpetuates white supremacy.” Mark down another school that has succumbed to demands to let politics trump education.  Activists calling themselves Reedies Against Racism denounced the course as “oppressive” and “Caucasoid,” claiming too many of the writers were white men. You know, like that lame Aristotle dude. Last spring they demanded that their peers participate in sit-ins, and last fall the bullying grew worse.
