fucking important.

The argument hereof — http://chroniclevitae.com/news/703-after-ferguson-some-black-academics-wonder-does-pursuing-a-ph-d-matter — is that scholars, PhDs, and PhD students should, as a result of Ferguson, become more like activists: vehemently "fighting" the perils of racism, prejudice, and ignorance thereof.

But the work of a scholar ought to be objective. Their role in this world is very specific, but one of the most important: seeking knowledge through research. One is unlikely to accomplish that with an activist mindset.

I think in the past scholars at least made some effort to appear objective. Since postmodernism and cultural Marxism took over, objectivity has been completely dispensed with in favor of doing whatever it takes to push the narrative forward.

Well if there is no objective truth, then everything is just a power struggle, identity politics is the core of all constative claims about the world, etc.

not flame. i was JUST now listening to a professor being interviewed on college radio. she was telling the interviewer that her class has a 'social advocacy' REQUIREMENT.

IOW, if you do not become a SJW, you fail the course.
