A genuine left would support Western Civilisation : Comments

By David McMullen, published 1/6/2018

I guess we are supposed to look back lovingly at all those civilisations that crumbled in the face of the western onslaught, for example, Czarist Russia, Qing China, Mughal India, Ottoman MENA and Aztec Mesoamerica.

And now the ANU has turned down the Ramsay Centre's offer. But (as explained on Lateline) not because of anything the left, or the pseudo left, or the unions object to; they turned it down because they felt its conditions regarding the content would undermine academic freedom, and they didn't want to set a precedent for that.

It will be interesting to see whether the Ramsay Centre responds with a less conditional offer.
