The coherent argument is that Europeans experienced an unprecedented intellectual and cultural boom for about 400 years that produced some of the most intellectually stimulating materials that no other civilisation *since* then has experienced except maybe early 20th century America, and the causes of this are irrelevant, the purpose of a public education is to equip every single citizen with the necessary tools to survive and even prosper, by replacing intellectually rigorous source materials with feel good self-affirming diversity novels you are actively DISADVANTAGING your own students against someone who went to Eton.

>tl;dr You are actually empowering the European intellectual hegemony by not standardising its source materials.
