The court decision and open letter are both infuriating. The author starts with the problem of declining standards (okay), takes a detour via Haidt/Peterson (groan [1]), and by the end of the article the author is frothing at the mouth about Marxism or something. -- [1] Haidt/Peterson are to the right wing as Zizek is the left wing. It's less that I disagree with them per se and more that I find their entire style appeals to lazy and excessively emotional thought patterns. They're the humanities version of highly cringeworthy pop sci TED talks.
