‘Decolonization’ at colleges
and universities.
“This
is probably now the top hot-button issue at Canadian universities - the move to
replace 'European-based knowledge' as exclusionary, inadequate and subjective,
and to replace it in some cases with ‘indigenous knowledge,’ and even something
called 'indigenous science'... what some might say is superstition or
magical beliefs... The idea that ‘indigenous knowledge’ is not to be
questioned, that it has value equal to supposedly 'European' science... is an
incredibly worrisome and strange idea.’”

Well, as Roger Miller said, "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd." Especially if your indigenous science hasn't yet developed the wheel.
