A Major Hoax Proves Regressive Ideology Rampant In College. Three academics spent a year writing fake papers and submitting them to major academic journals. In one instance they used an algorithm to generate "rambling nonsense" and the paper was accepted. Some of their papers are much more alarming, advocating for white people to be chained up in the classroom. Their essay talks about "grievance studies" or what most people would call "social justice warriors." They look at how social justice and intersectional feminist dogma is a preferred moral framework in academia. But they stress that the need for good social justice is a driving reason as to why they perpetrated the hoax. Either way this is more evidence of the dark times ahead as science and academia are increasingly under attack from ideological forces.
