Scholarship now exists in attenuated forms that serve ideological purposes, not factual ones.  In short, "scholars" have come to serve ideological agendas, not truth.  Even mathematics and science have been corrupted. Recently, Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran had to reject 41% of the mathematics  texts for Florida's K-12 curriculum because they contained critical race theory and other propaganda used to indoctrinate students.

History, especially US history, has suffered terribly from the proliferation of anti-American propaganda masquerading as legitimate history. An example is the "1619 Project" that concludes that the United States originated in racism. A spinoff from this "history" is something called the "New History of American Capitalism" which argues that capitalism's existence was dependent on slavery.  The impression one gets is that slavery is an American phenomenon for which reparations must be paid.
