No one will do anything until its too late and then the backlash will be just as bad.
Sigmund Freud ruined psychology, but because everyone was on his dick for so long the entire field focused on boring fucking Behavioralism for a generation because they were so afraid of veering into unfalsifiable concepts like Psychoanalysis.
The same thing will happen on a larger scale. English, Philosophy, Art, and more will essentially disappear for most of our lives --- and to our detriment!
The fact that these fields are full of smug midwits with axes to grind doesn't change the fact that they are valuable things to ponder and study in a vacuum.
If we ever actually get to that point we would actually be screwed. You only rebuild to that extent after everything is razed to the ground... and there would likely be a lot more things "peacefully" razed in the process.
Just be careful what you wish for on that front. I 100% agree that academia is one of the leading sources of cultural and societal rot, but I do also think that most leftist institutions would crumble if any sort of oversight or enforcement came in.
Think about it: specifically over the last 20 years how much has tuition gone up? How much of that has been reinvested into actual education (better facilities, top-notch faculty, and research budgets)? It is nearly all tied up in administration and bullshit.
Shine a light on it and the roaches will scatter. It will be like Twitter - they will all bitch and moan about how fascism or nazism has arrived and how the institution is dead and then suddenly academia will function better when 50-75% of the admin is gone.
It isn't perfect or finished in that scenario, but you probably wouldn't be as pessimistic.

Modern English - He is a she is a xe is a bee. And not from babylon.
More Modern English - A woman is person that says they are a woman.
Yeah but I am clearly not talking about that.
Take out the marxists, the critical theory, and Foucault and all this bullshit goes away.
It is too entrenched.
We will need to revert to subsistence levels, with a local schoolhouse that is community run, and then build up from there.
Nah.
