«I JUST READ EVERYTHING»

The thing that I want is an enlightened multiculturalism. I want everyone to know the culture of the world. My plan is that comparative religion is the best way to truly give an international perspective to the young. Hinduism and Islam and Judeo-Christianity, African traditional religions, and Shintoism and native American culture should all be studied, because that is the best entree into a grasp of world history.Instruction at the college level should begin in the most remote past and only barely touch the present. No teacher has any business telling the young about the present: the young are the present and they are making the future day by day. Every teacher, the moment that he or she steps from the classroom, is already history.
