“It Began With a Gigantic Lie” - Harvard Western Civ Professor Resigns
I sat down with historian James Hankins, who recently resigned from Harvard after 40 years, to discuss why academia abandoned Western civilization, the institutional mechanisms that silence dissent, and how we can embrace the Western roots of America in the 21st century. We get into:
Why he left Harvard and joined the Hamilton School in Florida
How fear of student backlash silences even tenured professors
What happened to Harvard's commitment to Western civilization
Why teaching “global history” misses the point of education
The link between Christianity, liberalism, and capitalism
The classical education movement as antidote to institutional rot
Why America needs to reclaim its Western heritage
