Blame it on the “Left,” liberals is what the author must be referring to, as true “leftists” usually Marxists, would have us truly educated, in order to be better human beings, to understand society, to teach us to critically analyze.
<div class="">Instead what we have had over the many years is a neoliberal attempt to create robots with skills, and it doesn’t matter whether its Yale, Harvard or the U of I. Terrific skill sets, in order to perform. But let us not think, let us embrace and
regurgitate the propaganda spewed from mainstream media and corporate lackey’s of the government.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Let us continue to bomb, kill and exploit those who we don’t care to think about, labeled terrorism. Let us not critically analyze why we provide poverty and death to those Americans now deemed dispensable while 68% of our discretionary funding
goes to support the military industrial complex. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What we need is system change, one that provides true education for all, not just those that can afford it. Reform of academia is necessary, without question, because very few US schools encourage “questions.”</div>

of Left Egalitarianism</a></p>
<p class="">Characterized by historic commitments to egalitarianism, the political left implicitly positions itself as moral educator to the public at large. As presently conceived, however, this enterprise has become antiquated. As decent durable jobs become
scarcer and individuals more economically disposable, human identities are becoming more fluid, disconnecting from their erstwhile vocational anchors. In this context, the political left's educative capacity is structurally limited by its reluctance to confront
its own philosophical contingencies, as its field of action is increasingly drained of shared comprehensive conceptions. In this setting of collective meaning deficit, an overly thin egalitarian imaginary is guaranteed to fail long-term. Yet public education
in the grand sense is not impossible. This lecture describes several possibilities for the needed reconstruction.</p>
