Apparently the demonic Progs have come after the Middle Ages. See the links in the article.

“One reason, perhaps, why identity politics seems to be having difficulties in Medieval Studies that it hasn’t had in other fields has to do with the nature of the field. My area, American Literature, easily absorbed multiculturalism decades ago. But Medieval Europe is so mono-religious and mono-racial that efforts to “de-Eurocentrize” and de-Christianize the study of it have been frustrated. The field also puts a heavy burden of linguistic and historical knowledge on its practitioners. (You can’t do Middle English if all you know is American English.) Those elements exasperate the multiculturalist impulse, making Medieval Studies a challenge to all those younger academics who’ve been trained to undo white privilege.”

There are Chinese studies, Islamic studies, African studies, etc. But that’s not enough for these people. They want to colonize Medieval studies because now that they’ve moved to eliminate enclaves of white Christians in the real world, they have to purge history as well. They must import Chinese, Muslims, Africans into studies on medieval Europe so that when they try to eliminate us from this world we won’t have a previous world to look back on and remember what it was like to have our own people and lands.

Reminds me of when I decided I want to learn more about the Medieval period and did a Google search to find resources. I came across journals and publications discussing the Middle Ages through the lens of critical theory, feminism, deconstructionism etc. They want to run the entirety of Western history through the cultural marxist meat grinder and make their own demented burger with it.
