...way back in the 70s before...
__________________________

We were discussing this aspect this morning. If you brought this up 45 years ago, most people in the West would have looked at you blankly, having no idea of critical theory, let alone Marcuse, Gramsci, et al, unless they were philosophy majors. That was where it was hiding out and no one was the wiser.

At Thanksgiving, 20-odd years ago, the daughter of a friend was telling me how ashamed she was for being white (as the family friend who was an artist, daughter assumed my ideology). She picked up the *struggle session* habit at the Newman Center. We were sitting half a long table away from her parents and there was a lot of conversation. Parents were conservative Catholics of the let’s-all-get-along variety. Mom was a teacher, Dad an MD, daughter attended large state university.

Fast forward a few months. I was speaking with the Mom and mentioned the teaching of white guilt. Mom heatedly denied anyone was teaching this, anywhere. I could tell daughter had not mentioned this to her parents and I backed off. Mom was taking it quite personally, as a teacher.

Daughter went on to law school, became a *conflict resolution* lawyer and is, to this day, a huge SJW. Her familial relationships are strained.

So, critical theory had metastasized from the philosophy department to Catholic student spaces and no one was the wiser.

Here we are, 2020, and everyone is getting a close look and an education in radical philosophy and learning how it impacts every department of the university, then became ingrained in public education, the business world and government agencies.

No one can claim ignorance today.Now is the time to begin filing those lawsuits. You would have had a hard time even discussing it in the 70s.
