Therefore, we believe that ethnic studies should be strengthened insofar as its goal is to change the racist attitudes that have prevented non-white minorities from enjoying equity in our society, but not to the extent that a paradigm shift is sought. While this pursuit definitely requires the study of immigrant cultures, literature, etc., it does so as a means to an end. That end is a uniquely American culture which is not a bland homogenization but rather a synergistic whole that is greater than the sum of its ethnic components.

While it is not fair to implicate all secular Israelis in the switch from Hebrew to French literature, the trend is there. And insofar as its boosters would have Israel become an ersatz California or phony France, the trend...
