    What I see is the decadence of our academic institutions is killing them.

    Imagine the joy of having your 17 year old child successfully compete for selection to a very exclusive college level seminar.
    Only to have them return....scarred and filled with hate for their fellow human beings for perhaps the rest of their lives.

    One of the listed assertions is that
    "allyship is usually performative"
    Somebody better tell Steve. He'll never be accepted into the crowd,
    He can never hide the shame of his inherent white supremacy and racism.

    His micro-aggression can't be hidden.

    But I don't know how this crowd continues to exist...given how they keep eating their own.

    In any case....I'm sticking with my call...this is all symptomatic of the decadence academia has fallen under.
