I ponder that very question after reading a conservative reinterpretation of Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax.”
*For those of you who don’t know, “Crit” is shorthand for “Critical Theorist,” a branch of leftwing scholarship that is post-modern and post-liberal, and, among many positions (not all of which are believed by all members), believe in the indeterminacy of texts, refuse to believe there are abtract, neutral principles “out there” that can give us objective interpretations of moral principles, and seek to change the nature of political discourse from “objectivity” (which, they claim, really is just a masked version of the dominant perspective) to a “subjective” or “perspective” based approach steeped in the experiences of the disadvantaged and marginalized.
