A War on Classics

I found the article, and Professor Padilla Peralta ’06, an example of a contemporary woke, politically polarized social justice war on the classics — a kind of  “CCT” (Critical Classics Theory) alleging that “whiteness” is embedded in our hearts, minds, culture, and understanding of the classics.

I am so glad that I graduated 61 years ago and did not have to deal with this nonsense.
