I recall about 10 years ago in college we had these required 'core' classes, and the very first course, on writing I think, included mandatory readings from Edward Said*, a well known academic whose entire career was built around pushing anti-Western ideology and "Western guilt", I think it was framed as "cultural criticism". When I hear the woke talk about "cultural appropriation", "colonialism","white privilege", etc., it all sounds very familiar. Only now cultural criticism turned into full-blown cultural indoctrination. *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism_(book)
