This one actually is tearing the country apart, and the cure is not apparent.
Shame and blame are animating features of the Critical Race movement. The latest example of Critical Race Theory can be found in the article from Inside Higher Ed and is titled "Camera's On: Surveillance in the Time of COVID-19." Author Margaret Finders "(pronouns: she, her, hers) is former chair and professor in the department of education at Augsburg University and Joaquin Muñoz (he/him/his pronouns) is assistant professor in the American Indian studies department at the university."
The authors claim that asking students to keep cameras on during synchronous online class sessions is actually "indicative of an attitude toward teaching that positions students as docile bodies in need of constant surveillance." In fact, though "sharing an empty box or just a name seems to make many instructors uncomfortable ... feeling such discomfort does not give them the right to demand entry into students' private spaces."
Who is "demanding entry into students' private spaces"? The Zoom screen does not meander into other rooms. It shows the face of the student.
But the more important point according to Finders and Muñoz is that "the ideologies of 'cameras on' are incredibly problematic due to their racist, sexist and classist [emphasis mine] undertones."
And so Marxist ideology is front and center in the article. The clearly combative words and alleged high moral stance are the first indication that the left is on the march. After all, the leftist machine is adept at manufacturing outrage. Strategic ambiguity and changing the meanings of words to suit its nefarious purposes are never-ending.

Do the leftist followers even care about the deaths and misery caused by their ideology in just the last 100 years?
Tsk, tsk. What’s 100 million deaths between fellow travelers? Just statistics as Uncle Joe noted.
