Letting the Left gain control over what passes for “education” was a horrible, and quite possibly fatal, error.

That is what happened when the big push came for end-of-course standardized national tests for public schools. These tests were supposed to locate teaching inadequacies. No one took the time to realize that those who control the tests, who write the tests, control what is being taught. And the Left controls the tests — and the textbooks.

Glanced at the title. Shocked that they're out to get you.

Must pay closer attention here.

That the people most vociferous about rejecting Western culture know the least about it is a long-established fact. One of the author's points was that replacing it with an alternate culture is one thing, replacing it with nothing quite another. The latter is, at best, intellectual nihilism, at worst, it's simple laziness covered in a patina of self-righteousness. Why work to study anything if you can reject it with a simple accusation and get your degree anyway? This is, especially in literature, to reject a rich life for an impoverished one under the dubious proposition that what you don't know can't hurt you and it can't help you either.

The upshot of this is a society where significant fractions prefer walking around with a toothache to allowing someone else to study dentistry because it wasn't invented by a sexually deviant Person Of Color. Once upon an innocent youth I didn't believe anyone could be that stupid.
