Did you know that academic study specialising in Western Civilisation has been all but banned by most universities worldwide...?

Oh they learn about western civilization, just check the classes titles: “Sexuality in Australian History” “Human Variations and Racism in Western Culture, c. 1450-1950.” “Real Men: Masculinities in Western History.” “Imperialism, 1815-2000” In “Civility and Squalor: 18 C. British Isles,” students will not study the Age of Enlightenment but rather how “conspicuous consumption jostled with abject poverty, humanitarian campaigns co-existed with capital punishment, and major treatises on political liberty were published alongside drinking manuals.” [ link to ipa.org.au (secure)] Yup - From the link: "Like the majority of their counterparts around Australia, undergraduates enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts at ANU are being taught to hold Western civilization responsible for all evils in the world, past, present and future. Those who are majoring in History are getting a particularly skewed, simplistic version of the world based on Marx’s judgment that, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” You only need to look at ANU’s own description of the type of history course it is offering to undergraduates in 2018. The course, it boasts, is replete with subjects which “trace themes such as empire, terrorism, revolution, war, gender, race, technology and environment.” The titles are self-explanatory. Students can take “Sexuality in Australian History” or “Human Variations and Racism in Western Culture, c. 1450-1950.” Undergraduates can also spend much of the year studying “Real Men: Masculinities in Western History.” The stunning complexity of the past is reduced to an analysis of class, race and gender." Just wow.
