Quotation of the Day…

… is this recent Facebook post by Phil Magness:

Adorno, Marcuse, Marx et al are not strengths of the far-left. They’re weaknesses, which is also why their followers flip out and retreat into adamant denial whenever somebody shines a light on weird academic sects like CRT, critical pedagogy, & critical theory in general.

Most people who study critical theory recognize it as vacuous ideological nonsense, peddled without evidence or rigor. It only “works” for them when they protect it as their own proprietary academic turf and pretend everyone else lacks the sophistication to understand it.
