2) Teacher colleges are the bottom of the barrel intellectually at almost every university. If you've spent 6 years in that environment, any ability to think deeply has been drummed out of you. An EdD is not just worthless, it's a net negative.
3) In fields this shallow, plagiarism is inevitable. Since all the practitioners are trained (indoctrinated) the same way, they will come to the same politically based conclusions and express those conclusions using similar words. Even in postmodernist, scholar-speak drivel has a limited number of ways to say "whitey is evil" and "Wakanda forever".

"they will come to the same politically based conclusions and express those conclusions using similar words"
Those are not "similar words" (paraphrase), those are the SAME WORDS (plagiarism).
