They were already immersed in this crap 30 yrs ago! A Harvard historian was teaching 19th century history and made the mistake of reading from a slave owner’s diary, in class, to explain something about the era. He ended up getting blasted all over for the “insensitivity” of it all... in a HISTORY class.
Sometimes facts are offensive. Should we not teach what may offend people? It is this kind of thinking that causes damage across all forms of academia. Even in medicine, doctors and researchers are reluctant to study why certain conditions have a racial disparity or why medications are more effective in certain demographics.
