Schlesinger's Canon Vs. My High School's Canon

At school, there are a series of books that are usually considered necessary at high school and university. The Little Pulitzer Prize was awarded in historian Arthur M. Schlesinger's book 'Immortal of America', 'Classical' or 'Normative Literature'. Please call this list. There is a problem with this code, at least Schlesinger insists it has such a problem. He said that the norm was "used as a repressive tool in Europe to strengthen the hegemony of Caucasian, Male and Bourgeoisie." From my high school days of experience, I think this is not true.

Harold Bloom is one of the Harold Broome writers of the bestselling book "Western Canon: Books and Schools of the Ages". In this book, Bloom lists the works he believes constitute the norm (from Homer to the present) and discusses their protection. In his opinion, he also explained who the critics and enemies of the norm are. Bloom classified these opponents into "resentful schools" including feminist scholars who wanted to modify the norm. His argument is that these critics are trying to break into academic circles for their own special reasons. In the words of Bloom it is "politically curated curriculum". "

At school, there are a series of books that are usually considered necessary at high school and university. Arthur M. Schlesinger (Jr.), a historian who won the Little Pulitzer Prize, called his list "canon" with his book "The Disuniting of America". "Regulatory literature" There is a problem with this norm, at least Schlesinger insists it has such a problem. He pointed out that the norm was used "as a repressive tool in Europe to strengthen the hegemony of Caucasian, Male and Bourgeoisie." From my high school days of experience, I think this is not true. In my high school, teachers recommend students not only to read standard English literature but also to learn good writers of other cultures.

My high school teacher recommended us to read different racial writers, but their literary classics have religious prejudices. At first, my high school curriculum is multicultural and to some extent somewhat. Instead of focusing only on literature and research influenced in Europe, I have read many authors of various races. We read various racial writers, but the views on other kinds of religions and their writers around the world were missing. The lack of reading from different religions is an important loophole in culture. Therefore, we did not accept full multicultural education.
