From the blog of Rev. Dr. Robert Gagnon: Our universities have glorified narrative, particularly victim narratives. Professors typically do not invoke the notion of narrative to emphasize that facts must be grasped in context, but rather to undermine the authority of facts and affirm the supremacy of subjective perceptions and personal experience. All narratives are created by subjective viewpoints, but according to fashionable campus doctrine -- and knee jerk campus reaction -- not all narratives are created equal. The subjective viewpoints of alleged victims of Western civilization -- minorities and women -- possess superior moral worth and political relevance.
