In academia we’ve always had wing nuts who claim there is no objective truth, that one person’s facts are as good as another person’s facts. Now we see that perverted ideology surface where it really matters: the senate impeachment trial of the President of the United States.

The United States has only had one postmodern President— . If we don’t fix this problem soon, he could be our last president.

The post-modern left is a fringe movement in academia, but relatively harmless because their foolishness doesn't go much further than that (nobody in politics embraces it). The post-modern right is the real danger to our democracy right now. See

The last thing academia needs in this hideously anti-education era is bashing of the left in universities. Any wholesale dismissal of, say, Marxist or Postcolonial theory is not well-informed and giving into easy, stereotypical thinking.

This is not the "left" -- Marxism was discredited years ago, despite the efforts of Trump and his gang to label progressives as Marxists. Nobody actually involved in politics or policy talks about "Postcolonial theory." Bull is bull, and I call bull.

There is a difference. The power to shape the truth is an awesome power. Who uses that power to further the interests of working people and who uses that power to preserve their own privileged status?

Truth is truth. We don't shape it. We tell the truth or we lie. is an example of someone who lies.

All due respect, sir. I love ya, truly, but U R grossly distorting academia & crit theory of the last 50 yrs. Much of that theory has allowed us 2 stand up 2 corrupt traditions. Please. Stop this. You R 2 valuable. Don't fall 4 poor, incomplete, & selective readings of theory.

This theory has gone nowhere in the real world-- nobody in politics embraces it. Just because the right wing spews bs -- and dangerously so -- doesn't mean the left should spew bs. Focus on facts -- poverty, discrimination, climate change,etc. Not stupid theories.

The post modern left is growing with every young person who becomes a voter. The post mod right will have little growth. Don’t make assumptions about “nobody” embracing the left. It will be the D party. The R party has forever changed. Coalesce the remaining voters after 2020. 💙

None of this postmodern nonsense has anything to do with the actual political left. Bernie Sanders may embrace socialism, but I have never heard him or any other viable political leader embrace postmodernism.
