[lbo-talk] Destroying the humanities

[Alan Rudy]

Keerist Carrol, what humanities curriculum have you been part of for the
last forty years?
At ISU, folks in the humanities teach might is right and so is America? and
they do this more intensely than folks in the purported social sciences of
psychology, politics and economics and/or those in the natural and physical
- much less the applied - science and professional programs?  Or are you
just being cranky?
