So many breaches of the three rules of interpretation, laid down by the American Hayden by the epistemologist White, yet one of the beacons of intellectual postmodernity: conformity to facts, coherence there when will there be pure and simple censorship and professional bans, already practiced in the United States by the 'cancel culture', and which an apostle of this 'brave new world' calls for for France », the sociologist Geoffroy de Lagasnerie? But also among students, indoctrinated (a small minority) or intimidated (the most numerous) by the vulgate <woke». Students who think no less and discreetly make their disagreement known, but who repeat, since their success depends on it, from cover letters in memoirs, the essential elements of the expected speech: diversity, discrimination, deconstruction', the three 'D's » of the new dogma. Newspeak and forced dissimulation thus prosper, while certain establishments live in growing suspicion of all against all, an omnipresent threat of 'sexist and sexual violence obliges. Observers notice the increasing avoidance between the sexes, for fear of being the victim or the accused of harassment or inappropriate remarks. This is how the 'woke hell', paved with the best intentions of anti-racism and gender equality, risks transforming our university, as it is doing in the United States, in a doubly Orwellian place, by the triumph of misguided knowledge and by its desolate sadness.

"It has already been four months since the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Frédérique Vidal, V announced an investigation into Islamo-leftism at universities. Since this date, no official communication on the announced report. As if the loud cries uttered, from petitions to press releases, by hundreds of academics, Conference of University Presidents (CPU) and CNRS in the lead, in the name of academic freedom and the non-existence of said Islamo-leftism arguments which, moreover, were contradictory - had immediately overcome the ministerial concern. Further: instead of being content with this discreet burial, some protesters have just filed an appeal before the Council of State against the initiative of Frédérique Vidal, wishing, it seems, to make him pay for his initial desire. Unless the very recent and discreet signal from the ministry (the work continues) has reignited their fear? Regardless, this excess of outraged virtue proves counterproductive. Courageous voices (Pascal Bruckner, Pierre-André Taguieff, Philippe d'Iribarne, Nathalie Heinich, Mathieu Bock-Côté, among others), are rising to denounce the ongoing intellectual and political drift. A report from the Observatory of Decolonialism and Identity Ideologies, composed of academics, has just, given the ministerial silence, drawn up an edifying inventory: themes of conferences, titles of works and articles, job profiles or calls for projects show the impressive penetration of the new progressive science into French research. Because this movement goes far beyond Islamo-leftism alone. In fact, it aims to be, according to its own words, 'intersectional', that is to say, pointing out the convergence of <discriminations>>>> based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, ability physical, etc. However, far from being in the minority as it readily presents itself, the intersectional paradigm, as the Observatory of Decolonialism has just calculated, weighs no less than half of the items listed in the databases. in social sciences. Not that these themes should be rejected a priori: the question of gender, the history of slavery or the mental remnants of colonization are important and legitimate objects of study; but it is another thing to make it the exclusive reading prism of 'The affectio societatis, that is to say the common desire to associate, a condition of society, is filled by the denunciation of the fantasized mechanisms of 'domination' which seem to govern all human relationships. our societies. And it is yet another thing to decree the universal victimization of minorities by the 'domination' of the Western white male. In fact, the frequent breaches of the scientific approach are enough to make circular reasoning dizzy (the conclusion is already in the premise, as in the unstoppable 'racism being a white invention, there cannot be anti-white racism' ); denial of the facts (what about discrimination >>> within and between minorities?); blatant contradiction (race and gender are, it is said, only social constructions but, if one can change gender, it is on the other hand impossible to change race); double discourse (purely scientific display in public discourse, 'militant' claim in programmatic texts); research method based on interviews and feelings'; and when statistical data is used, concomitance, correlation and causality are blithely confused. This conceptual hodgepodge is in fact at the very heart of this new paradigm, where we slip without warning from differences to inequalities, and from inequalities to discrimination.
