    Jeet Heer Retweeted Ted McCormick

    This is a really good thread on how the "Western Civ" fanboys are, like all bad fans, the enemy of what they purport to love.https://twitter.com/mccormick_ted/status/1075604329061670912 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Ted McCormick @mccormick_ted
    Clamorous defences of "Western Civilization" make it harder, not easier, to get students interested in studying European history. The more "history" becomes the veneration of a caricature, the less appeal it can have to careful readers or critical thinkers.

        Huh, "fanboys." That's right, and a connection I've not seen made.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        When's the last time a "Western Civ" fanboy advocated paying a penny more in annual taxes to finance the teaching of Latin or Greek and at least one modern language to every public school student?

        Absolutely agreed. Hell, if you're seriously interested European history (which I am), wouldn't you want the detailed, warts-and-all story, not the pale and shallow hagiography?

        Should not be a shock that they would expect studying Western Civiliztion to be chearleading white people.

        You don't have to distort history to appreciate Western civilisation.
