how true is the assertion that liberal-leaning subjects in universities are often based on literature from decades ago, which causes some parts of liberal rhetoric to sound strange and out-of-touch? i've heard that this can explain some of the more egregious cases of this. a couple of examples: > liberal ideology treata muslims as innocent victims of discrimination and ignores the nasty dehumanizing aspects of islam because the studies of islam and muslim culture rely on old outdated literature from when people were much more prejudiced against muslims and there was much less information about the islamic atrocities publicly available > liberal ideology constantly presents itself as the underdog, the counter-culture, the anti-establishment despite countless first- and second-world country governments embracing liberal ideology because this narrative comes from an era where the western culture was not completely dominated by liberalism and other ideologies could still pose a threat to it i'm sure there are more examples of out-of-touch liberal beliefs. but again, what interests me is how true this thing about outdated material being taught in universities actually is. maybe someone here has experience to confirm or deny this.
