In my view, unless there were some yallqueda creationism books, nothing from most required reading lists warrants malicious removal. Sure removal and updating, but why loudly and with the label trash? I guess there's a chance some highschool had shitty books, but it was a public highschool in NJ.

Nice. I've encountered "the guy who loves to invoke logical fallacies". I had to read Faulkner in high school. I have a friend getting his english phd who teaches Faulkner to his students. (Guess what? They hate it) Faulkner is canon. Its also a fucking example dude jesus christ you guys are autistic. Should I have used The Great Gatsby instead? And he came to mind because he happens to be one of my favorite authors. As a matter of fact, literally all of my favorite authors are canon dead white males.
>Also, in which part of education do we throw books in the garbage?
Look I defend the actions of every brainless idiot on twitter. I'm trying to elevate the conversation to a higher level of nuance here. What are some examples of texts you think should be taught to (non-honors) high school students? Do you think there should be any diversity at all in the curriculum to reflect the diversity of the student body or do you think only white male authors should be taught? (i.e. "merit based")

>>14629748
It's not being "gutted" its just not being taught in high school. What's the upper limit for you? Should we teach critique of pure reason to high schoolers? I'm talking about being pragmatic here not saying that the canon is trash. God you guys are fucking thick its like you actually don't understand the basic project of literary criticism and think it should just consist of being a cheerleader for your favorite authors/books like your beloved Harold Bloom.

What did you guys think was going to happen? America would be king forever? America reached its natural zenith in the 90s and is now slowly crumbling like all empires and cultures do. It’s normal. We’re going to be overtaken by an alliance of Latinos, blacks and Asians and a new civilization will be reborn in the old ones ashes. It’s normal and for the most part a good thing.

Faulkner is an author most people shy away from just by hearing the name, it seemed like you were trying to strike the entire bloody canon down by cherry picking a scary name.
>Merit based
I fully support the specific quote but you're trying to take it to some wild places. I fully support teaching the Baburnama alongside the confessions if you're gonna talk about autobiography. I also support readings from the Mahābharata and the Ramayana to accompany Homer in the "Indo-European myths diffusion epic" bit. If you could sneak in Hafiz alongside romantic poetry that'd be based. If you could integrate readings from Chinese novels that'd be redpilled. If you spent fifteen minutes talking about Eustahios Makrembolites and the Byzameme novels then you'd reach ascension.

>I'm talking about being pragmatic here
no you are not. the pragmatic action is to make kids read and analyse literature far earlier than they currently do, and with higher frequency, while also doing more to educate them on proper grammar and syntax.
the high school tards hate literature they read because they were raised retarded to that point thus find it totally alien. they hate faulkner because they can barely read him (the same is true for quite easy texts like Gatsby too). their literacy level is not high enough to read it effectively. they're forced by ability to read slowly and focus on very word—such that the experience of reading is overly exhausting. they spend all of their childhood and most of their teens laying on the couch but now and ten you put them in a track meet and expect good results. it is fucking not pragmatic, from the perspective of one who wants high results, to look at the embarrassing level of literacy produced by current curriculums and think we should accept it despite the solution being relatively simple.
that said, i don't personally think it's much worth the effort. we gain nothing from educating the plebs—and widepread literacy was a mistake.

You can literally watch the shitskin demographic and Jews strip away your culture in real time, and you will still come up with excuses for why this is okay because something something muh healthcare.

"b-b-b-b-buh it's da liberals they're not left wing!" screeches the impotent little leftist as his copy of Ivanhoe is torn from his fingers and fed to the flames. But he will vote and fight and diligently scrape to help Jews and shitskins further cement their majority, and his grandchildren--brown, with IQs in the low 60s--will look back, and sadly say "ay dawg, dafqus a 'greek,' dat some kinna olive oil? finna make mysef some pasta.

Tell him literature has nothing to teach him because it's written by people with a different background and different opinions? That their entire corpus of work can be reduced to a couple descriptive signifies, which they can then use as a tool to deduce the subconscious motivations of their every word and action? Perhaps teach them that the world is either secretly conspiring against them, to which they can attribute ever failure and struggle, or that they are arbitrary privileged and therefore cannot have any claim to authentic agency in their life? Training them to express every sentiment according to a politically convenient narrative specially designed to be as divisive and alienating as possible, while telling them that anyone expressing opinions outside of that narrative is a closeted Hitler supporter?

No, it must be making them read Shakespeare or Huxley in school. Surely literature is the thing ruining the study of literature for students.

Not reading Literature or Philosophy is actually based. Observation shows us that the most literate, philosophically inclined peoples are the most likely to be Communists or anti-anti-Communists, however, these are quite shit in practice. One can only conclude that there's something toxic in our literate tradition. Just go read a nice math textbook or something.

You don't need to read to know this. If you live certain parts of in America, the sentiment is in the air you breathe. I think think holding such a position in a post-Schumpeter world is contradictory to the point of being totally incoherent. Leaders will try to sell it with hokey recreations of past glory, but I think most who buy it just don't know better. If directly offered to choose between either rectified culture or the free market, I think they would choose the latter. Unfortunately some very sinister businessmen and their cronies have convinced that one is necessary for the other. The only sympathy I have towards deregulation is that total human annihilation is preferable to a humanity under communism or anarchism, so if the victory of those roaches seems inevitable, policies that will guarantee the complete destruction of the environment should be purued.
>i.e. those who don't look like you, since everything foreign is hostile to you.
Not at all. Identity itself is shaped from continuous acts of violence done by and against various groups of people. The histories of violence which shape the trajectories of some identities make conflict inevitable. I personally believe in allowing for the free immigration to Western nation states of all non-Muslim peoples from the Middle East and North Africa. I also believe in giving practitioners of the Vedic faiths special protections and social privileges over Abrahamics.
>thanks for confirming what I just said above
Jazz was the destruction of any culture that existed beyond mere consumerism. Philip Larkin (a huge fan of jazz) put it pretty well:
>Mick Jagger at Altamont in 1969 is the logical outcome of Louis bringing the house down with ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’’ in 1929, and the process isn’t finished yet. When it is, the chances are that Armstrong will be remembered as much as an agent for replacing one culture with another as an individual artist. If so, it won’t be his fault: nothing, in this line, is ever anyone’s fault.
Any form of existence outside of the most vulgar American consumerism is gone, and will be until all elements of this dark century have passed us.

They're a little more sophisticated than that. They know they need something sophisticated is they are to train students to empathize properly (i.e., feel in accordance to their agenda). That's why they incorporate the grandest works of hand-wringing in their tradition. You'll see it Dostoevsky replaced by the likes of Baldwin, Morrison, and Alice Walker rather that whatever YA spectacle NYT bestseller is pulling on the heartstrings of teenage girls and cool wine aunts alike.

Don't put words in my mouth faggot. I wholeheartedly believe in the enshrinement of good writing, but the fact is that people use the category of a "Western Canon" to avoid engaging with literature in a very deep way, and this is true of its attackers as well as its defenders. I am equally wary of the formation of a kind of "neoliberal canon," if you will, that is a canon of works that makes the classes who benefit from the multinational circulation of capital least uncomfortable. Personally I think that the only sort of humanistic education that can hold its own among the globalized knowledge systems of today, is one that seeks to familiarize the student with all of the most celebrated forms of human expression, irrespective of region.

Not gonna read those, but unless their headlines are terribly misleading, that's still a far cry from book-burning. I certainly don't support such a restructuring of the curriculum if it means fewer humanities courses overall. What I will defend, as I said, is the view that the humanities will continue to die if we insist on structuring them along national lines. The purpose of the university is no longer to construct a national myth, and thinking about literature in those terms has been outmoded. This ought to be a good thing, as I believe literature to have far higher ends. Now, the circumstances under which the boundaries between regional knowledge systems have largely dissolved happen to be extremely unfavorable towards forms of knowledge that do not promise "progress" of a certain kind, but the solution is not to regress to the material conditions of the 19th century (not that such a regression is possible anyways).

>Instead, the English department now allows students to fill three required prerequisites from a choice of four different courses: Readings in English Poetry 1, Readings in English Poetry 2, Readings in American Literature, and a newly created course, Readings in Comparative World English Literature.
This is not "nothing", it's actually great. They didn't remove anything like you're implying. They just added more options.

The problem is that they are not being forced to take it. These classes shouldn't be about about "engaging students" but rather inculcating the Western tradition into them.

There was the USSR. Foreign, hostile lands remained unconquered. There was a possibility of expansion. The empire could conceivably grow. Some people scratch their heads and wonder how the golden ages of previous "world hegemons" last so much longer than America's, which appears to have last a few measly decades. The answer is simple; America conquered the world more thoroughly and quickly than any previous empire. Fine, call it the Anglo-Jewish Thalassocracy if you like, it doesn't matter. There were few to no real adversaries left to wage war with, expand, find new vassal tributaries. There was no option other than decline.

>>14633952
My post was not worded very precise, you are right in that regard. I was merely trying to scrape away the culturally learned appendages to education and exposing the thread for what it is. This thread reads like a facebook page of soccer moms trying to critique an educational system because it differs from theirs and having been a student once makes them experts on pedagogy. Some people here focus on the aspect of carrying the torch of a cultural and educational canon. If you wanted to critique that, you could say that the insecurity of this argument stems from fear of invalidation of the own education. Other people on here focus on adaption to current paradigms. If you wanted to critique that, you could say that the insecurity of this argument stems from validation of the cognitive dissonance they have with the structure in place, or an attempt of iconoclastic will to power.
