Ivy League English Professor Stunned After Watching New Students Struggle with High School Work

Oh, the humanities.

In a delicious twist of irony, The New Yorker magazine penned an essay on plummeting enrollment in the humanities — only to have a tucked-away little nugget of information explain away, perhaps, a big chunk of it.

The article, titled “The End of the English Major,” was written by Nathan Heller and explored why, exactly, “enrollment in the humanities is in free fall at colleges around the country.”
 
The piece is as fanciful and wordy as one would expect from The New Yorker in 2023, but it does explore a space that should be of some interest to everyone — not just college-loving liberal elites.

Because even conservatives should want to take a peek under the hood of this issue, given how institutional colleges have been when its come to the larger leftist indoctrination of the country.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
