Dumbing Down to Please Trophy Diversity

There was a good reason for Chaucer, Shakespeare, Donne, Milton and Eliot. They were and still are the best. 
The problem is they require study and work.
That is why the new mediocre students brought in for diversity want mediocre academic requirements. It makes their college degree more suspect than ever. m/r

It's as Shakespeare wrote:

"The more pity that fools may not speak wisely what wise men do foolishly."

Yale ‘decolonizes’ English dept. after complaints studying white authors ‘actively harms’ students 

Aryssa Damron - Yale University •October 27, 2017

English majors no longer required to take class focused on Chaucer, Shakespeare
A year and a half after a petition circulated calling for Yale to “decolonize the English department,” the first students are enrolled in a new course created by the department to increase the breadth of the curriculum and combat claims of departmental racism.
What’s more, new requirements are in place to ensure a more “diversified” slate of courses.
Previous requirements for the major included two courses in “Major English Poets,” including Chaucer, Shakespeare, Donne, Milton and Eliot, among others. But that two-course series petitioners had deemed actively harmful due to its focus on white male poets. The series is no longer a graduation requirement for Yale’s English majors.
The petition, a Google document which has since been made private, critiqued the perceived whiteness of the English department requirements: “A year spent around a seminar table where the literary contributions of women, people of color, and queer folk are absent actively harms all students, regardless of their identity.”
