    Jeet Heer Retweeted Richard Hanania

    Universities should absolutely continue to teach (as they now widely do) Kant, Calhoun, Heidegger, Ezra Pound, Celine, Carl Schmitt, etc. In fact, I know of no one who has said they shouldn't be taught. (Altho also foolish to compare them to critical race theory or Marxism)https://twitter.com/RichardHanania/status/1409592679000772610 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Richard Hanania @RichardHanania
    Anne Applebaum says you should read Critical Race Theory and Marxism. Once again, none of these people will recommend that universities teach fascists or white nationalists, even though many believe these ideas are highly relevant to today's politics! https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/06/milley-critical-race-theory-marxism-racism-fox-news/619308/ …

        The interesting thing about right-wing commentary about academia is that it's almost always far removed from actual reality of what is taught & how it is taught.

        Kant is a white nationalist now? Scruton hardest hit.

        He was pretty explicitly a biological racist.

        I've taught Lovecraft and Song of the South a couple times each to very engaged, unoffended University students. This would seem to be impossible with the image of higher education the Right projects

        It's not as though today's students are so naive that they cannot discern outdated prejudices found in the writings of some of the greatest thinkers. To patronize today's students as though they can't think these matters through would be a tragic joke

        Calling Kant a fascist seems...odd. (Yes, I know he expressed some racist ideas but they are hardly central to his work, and *Perpetual Peace* was not a favorite of the Nazis...)

        pretty much any famous western philosopher pre-19th century had wildly racist views, but calling kant a fascist is calumny.
