The recent release of the Pew (I think) survey result showing conservatives having a negative view of higher education was the occasion of much hootin' and hollerin' by our betters--the highly educated urban sophisticates known as "Little Ignorant Butthurt Toadies And Reality Denying Sociopaths". This is what, in their diseased brains, passes for "education".
Like boll weevils feasting on lush cotton fields, leftists have an insatiable desire to invade and destroy every last nook and cranny of acquired knowledge and replace it with Cultural Marxist orthodoxy. Witness an alleged scholarly paper titled “Citation matters: mobilizing the politics of citation toward a practice of ‘conscientious engagement,’” in which the distinctly unpleasant-looking Carrie Mott
and her dorky gelded sub Daniel Cockayne
argue that the field of geography stinks to high heaven with white maleness.
It’s an odd world where people think politics are in any way related to scholarly citation, but this delusion appears to afflict both Mott and Cockayne. This pair of uncomely “feminist geographers” encourage their cohorts to refrain from citing the research of white men, because it apparently sidetracks their attempts to make geography have nothing to do with studying the planet’s terrain and everything to do with depicting white males as evil assholes who need to be eradicated from said planet:
When it is predominantly white, heteronormative males who are cited, this means that the views and knowledge that are represented do not reflect the experience of people from other backgrounds. When scholars continue to cite only white men on a given topic, they ignore the broader diversity of voices and researchers that are also doing important work on a [sic] that topic.
What does this have to do with geography? Nothing. What does American education have to do with education these days? Less than nothing.
