Worse than that, activists disguised as academicians tutored generations of students into ditching an objective approach to the pursuit for knowledge for a subjective assault on the scientific method and the concept of "truth". By twisting language until words have lost any semblance of meaning - take the abuse the word 'theory' has suffered as an example - and by replacing the pursuit of knowledge with a drive for political action these activists have sown the seeds of what might well be the destruction of academia. They're not alone in this, the institutions suffer under the relentless pursuit of profit by diploma mills as well but the assault from within is more damaging since it touches the core of Academia's reason to be, this being the objective pursuit of knowledge through application of the scientific methods.
