A peruser calling himself PomoProf expounds on the meeting with Jon Haidt, in which Haidt discusses how the left-wing society inside of colleges is pulverizing them:
What Haidt is griping about has all the earmarks of being the developing of a victor in the fight between the two grounds subcultures recognized by John Searle in his "The mission of the college: Intellectual revelation or social change?". What's more, it's appears (to the better, I say) to be the supposed "postmodern" group. To quote Jerry L. Martin's "The college as a specialists of social change: The postmodern contention considered" (Journal: Academic Questions · Volume 6, Issue 3, pp 55-72, 1993):
In this manner, the point of advanced education ought to be not the quest for truth, which is both a fantasy and an instrument of persecution, yet social change—evolving thoughts, images, and foundations from apparatuses of supremacist, sexist, industrialist, settler administration to instruments of strengthening for ladies, minorities, poor people, and the Third World. (p. 61)
We are seeing Improvement in real life as one age (the "advanced") offers path to a more up to date one (the "postmodern"). Obviously, a few individuals are miserable at being deserted by advancement, similar to such a large number of others ever; and like each one of those different gatherings, they will turn out to be always minor, and at last vanish.
To further quote, this time from Dalhousie University Associate Professor Catrina G. Cocoa's "Against Oppression Through a Postmodern Lens: Dismantling the Master's Conceptual Tools in Discursive Social Work Practice":

Dishonestly universalized and objectivist claims about social reality which have frequently maintained restricted and favored world perspectives have been challenged by the developing perceivability and test of contending angles. In testing the hegemonic learning base which has maintained the force and benefit of some to the detriment of others, this methodology profoundly challenges the thought of well known fact and target information.
In this manner it is uncovered that safeguards of the "quest for truth" such as Haidt are along these lines, intentionally or unwittingly, defeners of hegemonic mistreatment, thus rightly contradicted by the present Academy.
In this way, "truth" turns into "whatever serves the insurgency." To the degree that that is genuine, on the off chance that they can't be spared, these colleges should be crushed, if just by departure by understudies and other people who really need a genuine instruction, not teaching. Postmodernists of the sort said here are similar to a contamination that assumes control over a body and transforms it into a zombie, a huge copy of a pers
