Great essay. Thank you for writing it.A lot going on here. There is a lot more I could say, but my site is filled with NYT references already.
Here's a reference, which, If I understand your passage, corroborates it.
It also dovetails with your remarks and mine on postmodernism and history.
It helps to see all of these aspects of civilizations as adversely affected by changes, reflected intellectually not only in the liberal arts, but also even in all the social and exact sciences, by the concept of postmodernism.
"...The Times editors have endorsed the idea that race and gender are primary to any issue, and that everything else is secondary, to everything: politics, art and culture..." DK
You mentioned race and gender here, and had referred to the false rewriting of history, especially Western Civilization history.
This is merely a reference to another article, which I am sure you must also have seen, from NYT last year, gender theme, postmodern rewriting history.
All the best
