you mistake truth for solution.
this was known by activists way before the 60’s amirite
the ideology we’re opposing - held in your example by the dean and the vice chancellor (authoritarianist roles held by petty people) - is one of reductivism & revisionism. always.
lots of known knowledge was to be wiped in Nazi germany. this is why there were bookburnings; today here are digital censoring tools of internet archive et al vaster than the bookburnings.
ofcourse the truth doesn’t crush that oppression then as now. breaking two things do: bystander apathy of those around you & learned helplessness inside you.
edit: your post’s emotional plea to urgency in the reader can be an example of a intending to break bystander apathy, but i find it falls short as learned helplessness…
okay
