Americans are Waking Up--Much of Higher Ed is Now a Scam

Absolutely agreed.

   The infusion of DEI into curricula is just one aspect of the problem. The bigger problem is the rampant spread of the worst parts of recent Continental philosophy through the curriculum--Foucault, Derrida, Critical Theory and all its sub-versions: critical race theory, science studies--in fact, x-studies for any value of 'x.' Radical feminism. Gender pseudoscience. "De-colonialism." And at the core of most of it: Marx and Freud. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Whatever there might be that's good in recent Continental philosophy, it's the intellectually shoddy and highly politicized stuff that spreads. Because it requires no actual thought and it's consistent with the irrationalist and leftist (but I repeat myself) sympathies of the faculty. It's the easiest thing in the world to make up a story about how something is secretly racist. It takes no actual knowledge and no actual thought. It's as easy as making up a story about your personal enemy's bad motives. Humans are very good at such bullshit. And that's basically what the infected areas of academia have been reduced to: sophomoric bullshit.
