On the decline? Looked at academe lately? They are as firmly in control as ever. And that’s where history is written. The last few generations of graduates are all steeped in leftism. Nothing’s changed.
Getting leftism out of academe is like making government smaller. We talk about it but never do it. Or haven’t you noticed?
So. You can whine all you want about academia in “higher” education. If universities and colleges want to publish and promote #Fakehistory they do so at their own peril. If movie studios want to finance #Fakehistory they do so at their own peril as well. America is striking back...look at the push back against Obama’s Common Core. Trumps’ victory was partially due to married women presumably because they had children.
