Hottest class at Harvard is Humanities 10

"It’s all distinctly old school. Hotly contested terms like “Western Civ,” “Great Books” and “the canon” appear nowhere in the course description. But the curriculum begins with “The Odyssey,” travels forward in time to James Joyce’s “Ulysses” and then backward to end with “The Iliad.” In between are assignments on Montaigne, Shakespeare, Spinoza, Baldwin, Dante and Plato.

OK. That’s how it was in my h.s. So what.
 
She's been stuck on that Humanities crap since I posted her a pic of my textbook.
That class was ass. Some was OK, but other parts were not.
We read The Odyssey in like..8th grade and had to do a book report on it.
