Well this was written intentionally hyperbolically. I'm surprised you'd quote it to be honest as it was part of a larger discussion. But anyway, when we apply warning labels to ideology rather than simply confronting it with better ideas we abandon the core of liberalism.

We have to identify the bad ideas to do that tho.
-
Sure, but we can do that generally without trying to drill down to the course level.
-
We don't identify where the problems are?
-
Sure. The problems are located within ideology. Teach people to identify it and challenge it rather than creating banned book lists. Further, I think it's a strawman to compare postmodernism to racism. One is a universally understood violation of fundamental human rights.
-
I'm not comparing them. I'm comparing the method of naming and locating social problems.

The course descriptions really are sufficient: "This course uses intersectional queer theory to interrogate the privileged...." No thanks.

I don't find they say that. This was mine. https://www.uel.ac.uk/Undergraduate/Courses/BA-Hons-English-Literature …

"...you'll examine the impact of issues such as gender, race..." Dead giveaway.
-
Now, yes! Not then.
-
Got it. Seems reasonable on it's face, until you learn the code.

Young people are engaged in these conversations. We can educate youth to identify these issues on their own. Impress upon them to challenge ideas. All my best professors encouraged lively debate and discussion.

And wouldn't it be good to measure where this is still happening and where it isn't? In the same way as measuring where free speech is good and bad. Where racism is high and low?
