The Real Threat To Academia Is, Of Course, From The Right...

facepalm

Jesus, these people.

Don't get me wrong--the right has plenty of crazies, and can do all sorts of harm. But five years--or fifty years, depending on how you count it--into the lunatic left's attempted destruction of academia, this midwit (film studies, Portland State...so...consider the source...) thinks that Christopher Rufo and one intemperate outburst by a Texas Republican against tenure constitute the most pressing threats. 

   Oh and: check out the link that alleges to evidence Rufo's "prolific falsehoods." It merely links to a--actually pretty good--article in which he aims to tell people how to oppose CRT. 

   And don't miss the part about how CRT and its inventors and advocates have no interest in indoctrination! That's my favorite part.

   Incidentally, the question of tenure is an open one. Whether it does more harm that good isn't clear. I tend to favor it. But I haven't actually thought very hard about it.
