Victor Erimita  over nefaste invloed van deconstructie, poststructuralisme, relativisme, … in het onderwijs

We should all be "guardians" of what is of lasting value from our cultural inheritance. What I am objecting to is the adolescent rejection of everything from the past, which has too often been the case with narrowly ideological manifestation of "deconstruction," "poststructuralism" and various other labels of a mentality that seems to say that our entire culture must be destroyed in favor of some unspecified superior way

Deconstruction began as an examination of contexts, a way to understand levels of complexities previously unxamined in the assertion of simplistic truths. The problem is that it has been widely abused. It has become a way to overlay anything and everything with with various ideologcal agendas. It has become a way for lazy, intellectually degenerate "scholars" to pick apart the work of greater minds without having to create anything themselves. And it has collapsed into relativism, applying standards of criticism to everything else it refuses to apply to itself. Its proponents rarely allow themselves to be deconstructed in the way they gleefully and pretentiously do to others. There are no truths, only contexts, except the truths I assert, which are true in all cases and contexts.

The humanities and social sciences in American universities have devalued themselves by devaluing the subjects they used to teach. Those "disciplines" have become increasingly about reciting the race/class/gender political creed and indulging the childish "deconstruction" narcissistic delusions of a degenerate academic class.
