Classicists and Political Correctness

Classicists also have to pretend that not only white people but black and brown people will also equally be bored by having as freshmen to read such stirring prose as that of Aristotle!

They made me in my first assignment in Western Civ. read 30 dim pages of the Nicomachean Ethics, of which I remember not a word nor do I give a darn about it.

Political correctness will kill you if you are not careful.
