The issue is as much a diagnosis of the academic culture which came to this decision: it's quite alarming that academics are on the side of 'cultural sensitivities' rather than against them. We have churches; we have political parties. What use is an academia that prays and "advocates for change" ? Academia should, by any reasonable sense of its mission, defend the preservation of works to be studied; regardless of their historical origins. They should be dragged kicking and screaming into destroying anything. Who, if not academics? History cannot be made 'respectable' -- and what a nightmare if academia tries to make it so.
