There is a kernel of truth in there, I'll give you that. It is hard to extract social sciences from the zeitgeist.
But let's call a spade a spade: this is just another iteration of Marxist epistemological ideas. For Marx, the division between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie was much deeper than exploitation. Bourgeois had their own unsound systems of intertwined knowledge built to benefit their position in society.
Not to be flippant, but that's how forced re-education was morally justified by socialist regimes of the 20th century.
