On an Illiberal Education

. . .The Wall Street Journal editorial (April 20) commented on Reed College’s capitulation to student “bullies,” as it called them:  “This (campus protest) is about blocking the study of core texts of Western Civilization.  That Reed College would agree to this, and, especially under political pressure, is an insult to the meaning of a liberal arts degree”. . .
