"Only in 1917, pursuant to U.S. entry into World War I, did Americans discover that they were politically part of the modern West. The curriculum that came to be called Western Civ originated as a wartime expedient designed “to teach soldiers what it was they would be fighting for in Flanders Fields.”2 Western Civ began, in short, as an exercise in government indoctrination.

This exercise persisted after the armistice and soon gained popularity on university campuses. According to the historian William H. McNeill, Western Civ enrolled Americans, hitherto regarded as raw and unrefined, in “the great cultivated, reasonable, sophisticated world of ‘us,’ the heirs of a Western tradition dating from Socrates.” “the agenda of a unified West led by America fighting for freedom and reason and tolerance,” while standing steadfast against tyrannies from the East." (After the apocalypse)

Smear the road with a runner!!
