His bold stand for Western Civ showed up the passive faculty, who abdicated their role under student intimidation. The post When Bill Bennett Came to Stanford appeared first on The American Conservative.

In January 1987, Stanford University hosted the most famous academic event in the culture wars. It was held on Martin Luther King Day. Jesse Jackson visited The Farm to deliver a Rainbow Coalition speech. Then, 500 students marched across campus chanting “Hey, hey, ho ho! Western Civ must go!”

This is the common version of Jackson’s rousing students to protest against multiculturalism. This event is remembered as a sign of the university’s decline. However, this is not the truth.
