Things like free exchange of ideas, critical reading, and a deeper level in #literature / #music / #dance just stop mattering.
But then you can't complain about the preference for book/content bans, flimsy propaganda, machine-generated books, sophomoric scripts, and shallow pop music/dance. The mass audience never learned anything else.

I took a walk with the rest of my family one evening, just after a summer storm, and there, peeking through the last remaining storm clouds was the faintest of rainbows. You had to bend to the left to see it, but it was clearly there.

"An unholy alliance of far-right ideology and mercenary venture capitalists has politicized the classroom. We must reject their vision of America and insist that a liberal arts education accessible to more than just the elite is one of the great foundations of a democracy.”
