Interesting take on things. Another way of putting it is we can serve only one master - either Truth or whatever.

University of Chicago prof Allan Bloom crapped on this trend in his book “The Closing of the American Mind” 30 years ago.

He said the university is becoming too much like the world outside of itself, and thus, destroying its independence to pursue and study timeless truths.

It could be both if you had a reasonable definition of "social justice."

The first requirement of a just society is telling the truth --- and living it.

It’s not as if they stopped serving Truth by accident. It is a deliberate dumbing down of our children by people who hate us. Even my conservative kids came out of relatively conservative colleges believing a bunch of crap that they are slowly unlearning as reality slaps them around. Those responsible should be the first against the wall.

Liberals demanding social responsibility from businesses are creating a similar conflict.
