- richrichie 3y ago“ The New York Times shortly after her resignation from Harvard’s presidency, Dr. Claudine Gay wrote of the charges against her, “This was merely a single skirmish in a broader war to unravel public faith in pillars of American society.” University is the new church. There is a striking resemblance between how the powers now employ academy to further interests and how the powers employed the church in medieval times.
- lurking15 3y agoYou may be surprised to know that universities are descended from medieval monastic organizations spawned by the church. Of course this is where the crazy outfits at graduation come from. I imagine the people today are the same sort of people (temperament) as before, just different era.
