“Billie Jean is not my lowwerrr.”
Woof!

I’m only about halfway through and I was already familiar with a lot of the material, but there’s some interesting background on efforts to construe education as part of some grander “social justice” activism. What’s striking is the belief of some educators that tendentious sermonising and question-begging subjects are their right, indeed their duty. There’s very much a sense of education as some personal fiefdom. Their references to “academic freedom” are particularly perverse, and seem to refer only to the liberties taken by the educators mentioned, not the freedom of students to think for themselves.
