These kind of institutes have lost all touch with reality. Call it woke, postmodernist, critical (race) theory, I don't know what the correct term is. Their mechanisms are escalating out of control because nobody dares to stop them out of fear of being called an ableist, sexist, colonist, whichever-ist. It's like a virus.

Rather than progressive, it is regressive. It politically alienates a growing group of people in the center, center-left, independents. It's like a perfect recruitment movement for the right-wing, which is on the rise everywhere.

Progressives should stop this nonsense and return to the basics, which is to improve access to livable wages, good education, healthcare. For ALL, regardless of identity. Further, the explosive growth of the administrative function in these institutes needs to be dialed back. Always follow the money. It looks to me like right now, we're paying through the nose for anti-progress.
