The jazz musician Wynton Marsalis testifies:   body has two heritages, ethnic and human. The k aspects give art its real enduring power. . .. The aspect, that s a crutch so you don t have to go oi the world.  David Bromwich raises an allied qu< Should we wish  to legitimize the belief that the of a student deserves to survive in exactly the t that it corresponds with one of the classes of s constructed group minds? If I were a student t would find this assumption frightening. It is, in more than a license for conformity. It is a fot sentence to conformity. 
What you have been saying is pretty much the same < conservatives say. Doesn't that make you feel uncomf
No, it doesn t. There are conservatives and < vatives. Some, like the editor of The New Criteria frantic ideologues with their own version of p. classics as safeguard for the status quo. This is nt attractive than the current campus ideologizing. Bi are also conservatives who make the necessary disci tions between using culture, as many have tried religion, as a kind of social therapy and seeing culti realm with its own values and rewards.
Similar differences hold with regard to the teacl past thinkers. In a great figure like Edmund Burke y find not only the persuasions of conservatism but critical spirit that does not readily lend itself to idee coarseness. Even those of us who disagree wi fundamentally can learn from Burke the discipl argument and resources of language.
Let us suppose that in University X undergoini riculum debate there is rough agreement about books to teach between professors of the democr; and their conservative colleagues. Why should th ble us or them? We agree on a given matter, f for different reasons. Or there may be a more shared belief in the idea of a liberal education. If t so much the better. If the agreement is moment, differences will emerge soon enough.
A Little Epilogue
A New Republic reader:  Good lord, you re ing a virtuoso at pushing through open doors, carrying on just to convince us that students read great books. It s so obvious . . . 
I reply:  Dear reader, you couldn t be mon But that is where we are.
