Why must a critique of the centrality of whiteness in education always be described as an ‘attack’ - such as in this article. Academia has *a lot* to catch up on, there are still whole unis that won’t even engage in dialogue re awarding gaps, let alone their curriculum biases.

It also applies to sciences. Discoveries made by non-white societies and scientists are not given due credit.
