@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway Trying to sort out how that's possible. Have parents for 20 years thought "that must be some new fangled, trippy thing they do in colleges now"? Dismissing it as no big deal?

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway Ironically named these days

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway Maybe or we just thought they were joking. I mean even now when I hear what they think it's shockingly stupid. I look around for the cameras thinking I must be on candid camera.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway This shit started a while back. I noticed it at TCU in ‘97 and again at UT in the early 2000s. It’s not just academia though. Popular culture plays a large role. And the public schools prep for it

@mark_bauerlein "What happens in academia stays in academia" they said.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway It is up to the ppl as to wheather they want their childten to be indoctrinated to race awareness, should be just the opposite.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway So true. I attended a staff meeting where the anti racist club, average age 16, lectured us on our inherent racism. Thirty years ago. English teachers were witness to the destruction of a great tradition by nihilists unaware.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway I agree, it’s been frustrating seeing this stuff creep through academia for decades. Hopefully enough people are starting to push back to start turning things around.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway I was in a UC English grad school in '83. It was the first time I heard the word "misogynist".

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway EXACTLY what I have been saying... for the last 30+ years.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway Love it, "the Dumbest Generation". M. Bauerlein

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway Yes, it's minorities over Whites-Black racism, mostly.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway I saw it coming in the ‘80’s.

@mark_bauerlein Yes, stupid history has been trending since Zinn's People's History became the fashionable college history text.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway We need more critical thinking taught and less critical race theory.

@mark_bauerlein @MZHemingway I went to college in the early 2000s and even I'm shocked by it. I mean it was liberal, but Critical Race Theory seems like a whole another monster. And I never really heard anyone on the elected Republican side talk about and now it may be too late.

@mark_bauerlein Accurate as stated.

@mark_bauerlein Teaching my child to feel guilty or hate themselves because they are white, teaching them that police are bad and riots are good, teaching them that black people are "victims" - yes, I have an issue with this!

@mark_bauerlein Correct. All the tenets were in ferment by 1990 and quasi-theology by 1995. Higher up in academe, the earlier ossified and the more rigorously policed in grad sch acceptance, funding, dissertation guidance, publication, and tenure.
