It’s insane how “identity politics” dominates our institutions of (so called) “higher” learning.
As the campus ex-spurts proliferate and the categories of “identity groups” get narrower and narrower.
(…what’s next, righthanded US born Hispanics versus lefthanded Latin America born Hispanics…? )
I can’t imagine there is much intellectual rigor holding the day under these asinine conditions.
I’ve been asked what MLK would have made of the sorry national burlesque in which ovaries and melanin are all but exit poll determinants.
Sad, indeed. Apparently reflective of what has been going on in American educational institutions (at all levels) for some time.
