"That can be interpreted as. '...harmful' and to purge these evil influences."
Blame this lack of cogent academica on those codelling parents and those locus in parentis at Universities who not only inculcated the lie in 'You can be anything you want' but also furthered a level of rabid emotional virtue signalling with a complete lack of scholastic integrity.
God, I remember my 1972 History 101 prof offering this advice on how to write a good paper:
"A thesis? Find a historian who wrote something, take it out of context, and excoriate him."
Thank you for your scholastic integrity.
Pity those in the throes of a dangerous absolutist moral panic find such a concept beyond them.
