So if you buy the assertion that "the great replacement" is merely "an evil conspiracy," take the case of Joshua Katz and Dan-el Padilla Peralta. Katz, according to Gold's account, helped Peralta get documented. Peralta then helps Katz get REPLACED. I was privy to a Classics convention posted on youtube a few years ago, where this Peralta jerk holds court. It wasn't a classics conference. It was an "anti-racist" struggle session. The asshat presented his goal to tear down the Classics. Some other speaker of color appeared to spend his time seeking to prove his bias that not enough black classics academics are getting published in journals -- rather than writing the academic work that would get his black self published in said journals. I dare say the racist intolerance of some POC academics are indeed tearing down the very institutions that support them -- and replacing the authentic academics like Katz in the process. At the university where I teach, we now have a black president who graduated from Princeton. This person's lack of education, ironically, is painfully evident in the misguided, politically motivated foaming at the mouth emails they blast across the university. Case in point: the Rittenhouse trial. How anyone could label Rittenhouse a "racist white supremacist" is beyond me. Couldn't possibly have known ANYTHING of substance about the trial, yet sends out this email. Now we have "black graduation" and "Faculty of Color" meetings where THEY get to discuss whether THEY are treated with the prescribed amount of respect. Meanwhile, any one of these people can deliberately misinterpret something a white professor says and it's the end of their career. This is how white men are getting REPLACED. And the white people buying and promoting it are a disgrace.

Before Rittenhouse, think of Geoge Zimmerman, also labelled a 'racist'. George was writing letters to his local newspaper criticizing police treatment of Black homeless people. And he had a Black girlfriend. A reeeeal 'white supremacist'. Suuure.

So-seeking employment elsewhere? That sounds soul killing...

Yeah - I think you are a bit out on a limb on this one (replacement) but I have to agree with some of your comments. I sum it up as these differential policies are causing nothing but divisiveness and making students weak and unprepared for the real world.

Haha. You gave enough details to tell me that you teach at the New School where the President is Dwight McBride, Princeton Class of 1990. Personally, a great guy but seems to be very misguided, especially on the Rittenhouse issue.

The other presidents were far more responsible and objective in their messaging, out of consideration for the various viewpoints that define the word 'university.'

Whether from the perspective of Great Replacement Theory or that of Critical Race Theory, at the root it’s just a reversion to the baseline ethnic strife seen throughout human history. Those on the CRT side are actually quite honest about their intention to invert the existing hierarchy.
