Common meaning:

Manufacturing an alternative understanding of something to avoid being challenged by truth.

Hidden meaning of the Equity religion: 

Any argument that opposes Equity is wrong.

Discussion:

The Equity faithful believe so completely in the doctrines of Equity that facts that  contradict what they believe must be wrong. Any evidence that others show to demonstrate Equity is faulty is immediately discounted and considered to be a shadow text.

This shadow text defense mechanism employed by Equity believers helps protect their religion from dealing with truth, despite a gigantic mountain of evidence that clearly demonstrates practically everything the religion promotes is wrong. Equity is thus able to continue to infect Western institutions at an alarming rate.

I personally have no issues with religions that provide value and help support the social order. I do have an issue with a religious virus like Equity that causes nothing but destruction and claims any argument against it is just a shadow text.

This religion of darkness and shadow must be stopped.
