It is good to hear arguments against the current trend for some meaningless unthought through decolonialism. Ex-colonial countries would find a decolonised life very difficult. As for decolonising the curriculum, particularly for science, the horrors are not worth thinking about. Stop dwelling on inappropriate Western guilt andget back to building the globalised world.
