The High Priest of Heterodoxy
I first saw this as potentially a great possibility. Like, awesome, someone is actually sitting down and researching how to undivided the red&#x2F;blue divided America?<p>But then...<p>&gt; The fledgling academy now occupies a position within America’s tumultuous culture wars as advocates for free speech and the values of the “open society” and against political correctness and the millennial fervor of social justice activism.<p>&quot;Political correctness&quot; is so thoroughly abused as an alt-right general accusation as to be meaningless. All it does here is make me question the institution as just another alt-right organization hiding their beliefs behind the shield of &quot;rationality&quot; and &quot;free speech.&quot;<p>&gt; Of course, the researchers will be labeled white supremacists by those who fear that more knowledge might interfere with their ideologically pure claim that American racism is the root cause of every social problem.<p>Sure, it&#x27;s annoying to be called a white supremacist by verified Twitter trolls, but we&#x27;ve got equally, if not more so, absurd accusations of anti-Semitism flying all over the fucking place right now, and the correct solution is to leave Twitter to the Twitter trolls.
