Linguistic inversion is the main tool used (it is the identifier of post modernism in action for those who recognize it). In the case of education, it only takes a few activists in accreditation or a position of Board authority to then pollute the entire profession over time to get any linguistic fiction taught as fact. And that's how institutional capture happens.
The activism hides behind highly negative terms like discrimination, colonialism, racism, bigotry, misogyny, '-phobia' and so, which is then used by the activists to forward the idea of getting Good People together to fight against them, usually with the term 'combatting'. Why, it's the New Civil Rights movement, you see. That's where the 'warrior' part of social 'justice' emerges. And who doesn't want to be a goo person fighting injustice... especially when it is made so easy by the activists.
Whatever follows the negative term is the promotion of exactly what the term means, while the inversion is getting these Good People to then become the frontline soldiers to promote it in the name of fighting it. It's brilliant. Combatting discrimination, for example, means promoting very real discrimination in order to be considered a Good Person (an 'ally' on the 'right side of history'), for example.
This is how its done. We see the same playbook for every aspect of social 'justice' activism. It works. It fools the majority of people... especially good people. And all of it is deeply socially malignant.
