A Wall Street Journal writer conservative writer’s headline complains today about the University Curriculum that: If they can find time for feminist theory, they can find time for Edmund Burke.

In the age of the internet, the censorship of curricula is getting more and more ridiculous. In the humanities or sciences, it is no longer the university where the most recent, vetted, and complete knowledge is available. Wherever we are on the political spectrum, I cannot imagine we would want to send our kids to a place where a curriculum gives them only a slice of a subject selected by the faculty.
