Universities used to be the place where new knowledge was created and transmitted generation to generation. Newspapers used to be the means by which knowledge was transmitted daily around the community. Both seem to have given up their efforts, now happily chasing the Great Unknowing. Universities don't want to know and newspapers want to restrict free speech.
From Anthropologists Call for an End to Classifying Human Remains by Gender and Ancestry by Jonathan Turley.
There is an interesting controversy brewing in anthropology departments where professors have called for researchers to stop identifying ancient human remains by biological gender because they cannot gauge how a person identified at that the time. Other scholars are calling for researchers to stop identifying race as a practice because it fuels white supremacy.
Truly profound nonsense.
