During his closing monologue on the Friday edition of his HBO show “Real Time,” comedian Bill Maher stated that there has been an attack on the ideas and thinkers of Western Civilization in academia, even though “The ideas that came through Athens, Rome, London, Paris, and, yes, Philadelphia, are what make life good for most people in free societies today,” and “all marginalized people live better today because of Western ideals, not in spite of them.
Maher began by saying, “For all the progressives and academics who refer to Israel as an outpost of Western Civilization like it’s a bad thing, please note, Western Civilization is what gave the world pretty much every goddamned liberal precept that liberals are supposed to adore: individual liberty, scientific inquiry, rule of law, religious freedom, women’s rights, human rights, democracy, trial by jury, freedom of speech, please, somebody stop us before we enlighten again.
Later, he added, “Now, it is true that, for too long, we didn’t study enough Asian or African or Latin American history, but part of the reason for that is, frankly, there’s not as much to study. Colleges replaced courses in Western Civ…with world civilization classes, which is fine in theory, but what it meant in practice is you read queer poetry of the African diaspora instead of Shakespeare. And I’m sure there’s value in both, but, as usual, America only ever overcorrects.
Maher concluded, “The ideas that came through Athens, Rome, London, Paris, and, yes, Philadelphia, are what make life good for most people in free societies today, that the individual value and even the powers that be must submit to the rule of law, that punishment should not be cruel and unusual, that the accused…get a trial, that there is such a thing as a war crime.
