Recently in from NYU professor Dalton Conley: a tidy proposal for restructuring higher education so as to make better use of resources. Conley, who thinks education should be all about race and class, recommends that campuses “level the playing field by making everything ‘identity based’” and thus combining “history, English, and sociology into one big ‘White Men’s Studies’ department.” No wonder the nation wallows in ever more historical ignorance, such as that of a radio commentator (cited by Mal Kline) who on Memorial Day referred to World War II as “World War Eleven.”
