To be sure, the education establishment has frequently been highly eligible for criticism for being complacent, bureaucratic, self-serving and, sometimes, liberal.

These radical RW changes are, of course, a harmful reaction. I'm particularly troubled by the devaluing of subjects like art and history. The ideological dislike that clearly informs this strike against the 'liberal arts' threatens the continued transmission of centuries of Western social development.
