Woke Brooklyn College that banned campus officers from carrying guns because official was ‘triggered’ by female cop with a Glock is forced to call for help from OTHER schools during active shooter threat

Brooklyn College’s woke president has banned campus police from carrying guns and during a recent active shooter threat the school was forced to call for help from other CUNY schools which still allow armed patrols.

Top administrator Michelle Anderson, formerly a Yale Law school professor who specialized in rape law, yanked the Glock-19 pistols from peace officers on the Flatbush-Midwood campus in early October last year after a school official said she was ‘triggered’ by the sight of a female campus security officer wearing a firearm.

An ‘Equity and Inclusion Officer’ at the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) has claimed that history is paved with “white-led violence almost always in the name of freedom.”

Teneile Warren made the statement on Friday over Twitter. It was made from behind a protected account but was shown to True North by an anonymous source.

“WPs are scared right now. History is paved with white-led violence almost always in the name of “freedom”. WPs built a system on the narrative that these acts of violence were well intentioned & necessary. The system is (sic) never stops it because this is how it fuels itself,” Tweeted Warren.

How small towns are resisting the woke elites

A town in upstate New York is standing up to the bullies of the cultural establishment.

Recent events in Cambridge, a small town in Washington County in upstate New York, show that the colonising ambitions of the woke elites can be resisted.

Cambridge has drawn the ire of the woke establishment in recent years because its school district uses the nickname ‘Indians’. Worse, many of its logos use the face of a Native American and a Native American serves as the mascot for its sports teams.

The racist, segregationist, censorious Left eliminates one of the most important books of the 20th century because of bigotry

They removed To Kill a Mockingbird from the required reading list because the n-word was in it and was written by a white woman.

According to the Left, a white woman can never use that word under any circumstances nor fully understand the “lived experiences” of a black person so cannot write about them.

The Pentagon Has Turned into a Covid Panic Room

As my son’s school continues with in-person instruction, the federal government, at the direction of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), is using the latest Covid scare as an excuse to waste even more taxpayer funds and remains largely remote. The Department of Defense and the Pentagon dutifully comply with this nonsense. Once upon a time, decreased mask-wearing was held out as a reward for increased vaccination, but vaccination rates have increased while masks remain mandatory virtually everywhere within the Department. And now, on top of this, the DoD and the Pentagon have gone to what is called Health Protection Condition level Charlie (HPCON C). These protocols severely restrict the number of in-office personnel, as well as facility use. A fuller examination of these new policies shows that we have completely lost any sense of risk assessment; our nation and national security are suffering for it.

The word ‘maternity’ is facing a ban at Britain’s ‘wokest’ university

Britain’s ‘wokest’ university is facing claims that its staff objected to the use of the word ‘maternity’ and allowed men identifying as women to use its campus swimming pool.

The allegations against Bristol University emerged as PhD student Raquel Rosario-Sanchez prepared for an imminent sex discrimination and negligence case against the institution.

She claims its bosses failed to tackle transgender activists who subjected her to a two-year hate campaign for attending feminist meetings that opposed allowing men who identify as women into female-only spaces such as toilets and domestic violence refuges.

University places Trigger warning on George Orwell’s 1984 as some students may find ‘offensive and upsetting’

As one of the greatest works in Britain’s literary canon, Nineteen Eighty-Four sounds a chilling warning about the dangers of censorship.

Now staff at the University of Northampton have issued a trigger warning for George Orwell’s novel on the grounds that it contains ‘explicit material’ which some students may find ‘offensive and upsetting’.

Will Trudeau’s Woke Agenda Transfer Anglophones To Second Class Citizenship?

For Canadians falling outside its parameters, the pace by which Canada’s “woke revolution” is progressing should be of major concern.

For all the liberal left’s talk of social equality, they refuse to speak of the “flip-side” to the equation. Meanwhile, media refuse to articulate the speed at which the agenda is advancing.

That scene at the Union Pacific rail depot is all about wokesterism, not the weird things the press is cooking up

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Sometimes, it’s worth a million or more views.

This brings us to the pictures rolling out from Los Angeles of the wholesale theft of Union Pacific’s railroad containers, leaving thousands of broken packages strewn around tracks in photos redolent of places like Calcutta, India.

USA: Reliving the Nightmare of a Shocking Christmas Carnage Every Day

One would have thought that after a repeat felon out on a $1,000 bail is alleged to have driven his car into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six people and injuring countless others, those who have sought to dismantle our criminal justice system would have recognized how their actions have created murderous carnage across the nation.

But that is far from the case and the lawless cannot believe their good fortune.

In America’s most important city, New York, and within Manhattan, its most famous borough, there is now a District Attorney who, in changing what his office will prosecute, has essentially redefined evil.

Hollywood’s New Rules The old boys club is dead. But a new one—with its own litmus tests and landmines—is rapidly replacing it.

‘This is all going to end in a giant class-action lawsuit.’

A few years ago, the editor-in-chief of The Hollywood Reporter pitched a story to the newsroom. He had just come back from lunch with a well-known agent, who had suggested the paper take a look at the unintended consequences of Hollywood’s efforts to diversify. Those white men who had spent decades writing scripts—which had been turned into blockbuster movies and hit television shows—were no longer getting hired.

The newsroom blew up. The reporters, especially the younger ones, mocked the idea that white men were on the outs. The editor-in-chief, normally self-assured, immediately backtracked. He looked rattled.
