Description

Stanford had famously caved in to Jesse Jackson's chants of "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Culture's got to go," and abolished its core curriculum. Messrs. Sacks and Thiel had chronicled the result in The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and the Politics of Intolerance at Stanford. Mr. Robinson, meanwhile, had suffered through the Stanford MBA program and found traces of multiculturalism even there. PT: "The kinds of things one reads in the new multicultural curriculum are not things like the Koran or Confucius, but they are things like Lee Iacocca's Car Buyer's Bill of Rights as a comparative study to the United States Bill of Rights; the writing of Chief Seattle contrasted with Plato and Aristotle." ... DS: "The protestors of the 1960s were so successful that many of them have just stayed on campus. They're still occupying administration buildings, but now they are the administrators and faculty."
