The debate over the proper approach to educating our youth on the postsecondary level has never been more contentious than now. On one side are traditionalists who argue for preservation of the canon of timeless classics as the indispensable foundation for a good education. On the other side are reconstructionists who criticize the classics as the vestiges of a wealthy, powerful elite, which do not reflect the diversity of today's multicultural society. As a result the campus has become polarized in a sometimes heated power struggle that calls into question core educational values and academic freedom.
