Naomi Schaefer Riley wants us all to believe that there is no value in black studies on college campuses. In an article titled, “The Most Persuasive Case for Eliminating Black Studies?

The best that can be said of these topics is that they’re so irrelevant no one will ever look at them.”
She also wrote, “If these young scholars are the future of the discipline, I think they can just as well leave their calendars at 1963 and let some legitimate scholars find solutions to the problems of blacks in America. Solutions that don’t begin and end with blame the white man.”
