Good article. Thanks for speaking out on this. I've long since left academia, but still feel concern for what I see happening there from a distance.

We call it "Political Correctness." The name originated as something of a joke, literally in a comic strip, and we tend still to think of it as only half-serious. In fact, its deadly serious. It is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious.There's a lot of good material in this speech, but there are also some serious flaws. The good part is the role of Herbert Marcuse. The bad starts with the passage above. As I learned first hand from Lefty relatives almost 20 years ago, the term started as a compliment among Lefties. Lind also exagerrates the role of the Frankfurt School (aka Critical Theory) in the rise of feminism, gay activism, etc. And he confounds cultural Marxism with Stalinism. If he's not going to distinguish between the two, why speak of cultural Marxism in the first place?
It sounds like he read Pat Buchanan's The Death of the West, and The Shadow University, but little else.

my undergraduate education included a heavy dose of the frankfort school.
in addition to the frankfort school, the radical feminists build on jacques lacan and louis althusser.
althusser murdered his wife and the french authorities couldn't bear to put this communist in prison, so they stuck him in a mental hospital.
