Academics’ obsession with the divisive ideologies of Identity Politics and Critical Race Theory is preventing Australians from living together harmoniously, claims Bella ‘d Abrera, Director of the Western Civilisation Program.

She refers to an audit of universities, ‘The Humanities Dehumanised: How the humanities are taught in Australia’s universities in 2020’, which reveals that, of the 1,181 subjects in English Literature, History, Political Science and Studies in Society, only 177 teach the “essential core topics” which should be the basis for each discipline.

The intellectual and cultural heritage of Western civilisation have been rejected for divisive Identity Politics, Critical Race Theory, and Gender.

The report itself states that the “underlying premise of Identity Politics is that “individuals are distinguished by their differences, rather than by their similarities” …. “Instead of treating all people equally, all people should be treated unequally”.

Further: “There is no ‘discernible difference’ between Sociology and English Literature, or Philosophy and Sociology”. No matter what the subject is, “the same worldview is repeated throughout all disciplines”. Students are not being challenged nor enlightened, nor are ideas being tested.

“Students will all emerge with a monolithic view of the world.”

ttbn,

Have you heard this one: History is sociology without the brains and sociology is history without the hard work.

That's why I did an MA in sociology and another MA in history. I wanted to be a brainy hard worker.

I wanted to be a brainy hard worker.
Mr Opinion,
So, what went wrong ?

Universities Making Society Less Harmonious.
ttbn,
Spot on assessment ! Academics, particularly those who aren't actually smart enough to be socially apt & are of no use to anyone, are the worst offenders.

individual,

Sorry to disappoint you but everything went to plan.

Don't worry Moped

Did ttbn get into Uni and finish a degree?

Or just more of ttbn's no-Link, no-Proof, sour grapes.

plantagenet,

He didn't get the joke so maybe he's feeling a bit left out.
