Is the humanities in the academy as bad as internet memers say?

My sister is an English major entering her last semester. I showed her the 26 writers highlighted in The Western Canon.

She had read:
Shakesepeare
Cervantes
Montaigne
Wordsworth
Austen
Dickinson
Dickens
Freud
Kafka
Neruda
Joyce

She had never heard of :
Moliere
Samuel Johnson
Goethe
George Eliot
Tolstoy
Ibsen
Proust
Borges
Pessoa

She mentioned that she thought his list was missing an awful lot of black writers they'd covered in her classes, like Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, and Charles Chestnut.

What's even the point of calling it the canon if it's not actually taught at university?

I am quite partial to the writings of Harold Blooms.
What are some literary critics that you have benefited from reading?

Bloom is a national treasure. I'm going to miss him. I hope he stays with us as long as he can and delivers another aesthetic masterpiece that BTFO the current freefall of modern art that is anti-intellectualism.
