The idea though that there are the lecturers and TAs who are all a bunch of commie feminist anti-racists who are pushing politics on their students is the most hilarious far right perspective of university.
I took a poli sci class in my first year of my undergrad, which was 11 years ago now. The guy was so far right that he basically just shit all over leftist ideologies and complained about having to teach them.
History of women is STILL shit upon and not regarded as a real discipline by many.
The types of people who write these articles and the types of people who are entrenched within academia and have tenure is basically a perfect circle.
We literally have to contend with racists, both out and out racists and stealth racists, within academia. Daily. They are everywhere, and they are the ones with institutional power and clout.
So I see these types of articles and think about how common sexism, racism, transphobia, and classism are rampant in my institution and previous places I've studied. Academia thrives on being a super secret elitist club run by the privileged in society.
I think my academic career thus far would have been 100% improved if it was actually run by leftists.
Oh and Melanie? The idea of history being concerned with class and gender is like a several decades old approach. Class: like an 80 year old approach. Gender: 40 year old approach. It's STILL a struggle to get people to take that seriously and not focus on Henry II
Society is still obsessed with kings. I know this, because I write on kingship. Guess what though, historians have been fighting that for a long time. Yes, there are many historians who just focus on a king. But there are so many different types of history.
People who don't understand history stop writing about how history is taught 2020 challenge
