How a Generation Lost Its Common Culture | Minding The Campus

"Our students’ ignorance is not a failing of the educational system – it
is its crowning achievement. Efforts by several generations of
philosophers and reformers and public policy experts — whom our students
(and most of us) know nothing about — have combined to produce a
generation of know-nothings. The pervasive ignorance of our students is
not a mere accident or unfortunate but correctable outcome, if only we
hire better teachers or tweak the reading lists in high school. It is
the consequence of a civilizational commitment to civilizational
suicide. The end of history for our students signals the End of History
for the West."
