In National Review, Stanley Kurtz looks at a Utah State Legislature bill – S.B. 226 – that aims to restore a mandatory “Great Books” curriculum to university education, covering Western history from Homer to the Holocaust, and provide the legislative muscle needed to organize and fund the required faculty. Woke/DEI-oriented “studies” courses and radical faculty, it is hoped, will wither proportionately. Kurtz optimistically suggests this approach could be extended to universities across the U.S.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
