Fly me to the moon on a tomahawk


‘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.
