Culture Studies

Hungary has wisely decided to refuse government funds to “women’s studies” at their universities.

Let’s hope this is the beginning of a trend. Covering not just “women’s studies,” but “X studies” of all kinds, in which X represents some special interest group. These departments are rarely of any academic value. They do nothing to advance human knowledge, but rather spread politically motivated misinformation—propaganda.

There is a real place for “culture studies.” In fact, it was always my own main academic interest. But frustratingly, you learn nothing about a culture by taking culture studies. You learn only about current Western politics.
