I have already, it does bring up some good points, though I do see it as being quite biased.

Still, the term cultural marxism has been applied to language teaching strategies that pre-suppose different and unequal starting points to learning English.

In it's application, I still hold that you have made it fairly meaningless.

Please don't think me rude, or that I'm trying to attach some label here, but the application of the term seems to follow a sort of blanket principle. Namely when anyone presents a view point contrary to yours.

I don't think you are rude at all. This is a political forum after all. No problem at all. Perhaps I have accused persons of being cultural marxists who are not so, but exhibit symptoms. Cultural marxism is so pervasive in our nation that one sees elements everywhere.

There's only one way in and one way out, I'm afraid. You can decline, but I'd advise against it. Grin

John Derbyshire, in National Review Online, notes that there are actually establishment media figures giving Dr. Watson a fair hearing instead of resorting to jerking of the knee. Gadzooks! Actually rational thought and open mindedness!
