How does /lit/ feel about the politicization of teaching literature in America?

Bloom says:
"I stand against it like Jeremiah prophesying in Jerusalem. It has destroyed most of university culture. The teaching of high literature now hardly exists in the United States. The academy is in ruins, and they’ve destroyed themselves."

Do you /lit/izens agree? Should universities stop bullshitting us with horrible work just to appear "for equality"? Are degrees in English just degrees in degree in Cultural Studies?

You are now aware that Harold Bloom does not like John Coltrane.

None of 'em. They all suck. I misread them too strongly.

Harold Bloom is an stoic uber-mensch.

We may open up discussion concerning Harold Bloom's physique.

But it's not exactly /lit/ related.

And notice how pervasive it is! I spent a month in Rome lecturing and I was so exhausted at the end of each day that my son David and I cheerfully watched the Italian mtv. I stared and I just couldn’t believe it. Italian MTV is a sheer parody of its American counterpart, with some amazing consequences—the American religion has made its way even into Rome! It is nothing but a religious phenomenon. Very weird to see it take place.
