Left-Wing Educational Racism and Anti-Racism

Although it is clear that many cultural warriors on the Right exaggerate the level of Left-wing indoctrination in higher education, there is often a kernel of truth to their accusations. Just as the Right has become more extreme in its rhetoric and ideology, some factions on the Left have also become more hyperbolic. In order to examine some of the tendencies of the Left, I critique Asao Inoue’s anti-racist pedagogy to focus on how an emphasis on race and racism can blind people from seeing the truth about our complicated social reality.
