The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

Let me tell you why they're coming after Writing before English literature. Because writing has always been the more radical side of English. It's where students are encouraged to be producers, rather than passive consumers of knowledge. It's where unionization starts.
