Satire.
Or is it?
Is Australia even more “progressive” (regressive) than Canada?
People are noticing Australia’s extreme wokeness.

The Left destroy everything that is good.
In the following video, this YouTuber describes who attempts to fulfill her life-long ambition to study English Literature at Columbia University, which back in the day had a prestigious reputation for studies in that field. Now the department is infested with communists and its impossible to interpret any work of literature without imposing some inappropriate angle on the work under study.
Very interesting comments by the YouTuber.
(If you are an Australian under 16 and interested im literature get an adult to sign you in as you can’t have a YouTube account under Australian censorship laws.)

She would have been better off homeschooling herself on a Great Books curriculum. She could have saved herself a few hundred thousand dollars and gained a much richer literary education without all the endless navel-gazing of critical theory and literary analysis.
It’s not like an Literature diploma has much market value anyway. You know who else didn’t have a degree in literature? Shakespeare, Homer, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Chekov, Hemingway, Melville, Mark Twain, Jane Austen, Mary Shelley and a bunch of other great authors of the classic works she wanted to study.
