Earlier today Bari Weiss published the first in a series of stories about the spread of woke ideology in the field of medicine. The piece was written by reporter Katie Herzog who co-hosts a podcast with Jesse Singal, another critic of cancel culture. The piece opens exactly the way some previous pieces on this topic have opened, with a group of about a dozen people who meet regularly on Zoom to discuss what they see happening in their own workplaces. The only difference is that these people are doctors.
“Peak Woke”
Petition launched to remove Ontario statue of Pierre Elliott Trudeau over ‘historical racism’

“Recently, the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found in a grave near a Residential School in Kamloops BC. Pierre Elliott Trudeau was the Prime Minister of Canada while this school was open, and refused to take action.”
Biden: ‘Terrorism from White Supremacy Is the Most Lethal Threat to the Homeland Today, Not ISIS, Not Al Qaeda’

President Joe Biden spent much of Tuesday urging the nation to focus on hatred, especially white-on-black hatred, or what he called “the stain on the soul of America.”

Biden Twists History, Using an Islamic Terror Attack as an Excuse to Force His LGBT Agenda

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden issued a lengthy proclamation for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month.” He celebrated the openly LGBT members of his administration, pushed the Orwellian Equality Act, and condemned the states that are defending fairness in women’s sports against the transgender movement. Yet perhaps his most notable move involved the horrific Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016.
The case for a Youth Climate Corps in Canada

The climate mobilization in Canada, as I’ve written in previous columns, has yet to feel like a grand societal undertaking. Among the bold initiatives that would send such a signal — a Youth Climate Corps.
Applications Open For Canada’s Black Entrepreneurship Loan Fund

The fund aims to reduce some of the systemic barriers faced by Black Canadian entrepreneurs and business owners by providing them with the financing they need to start and grow their businesses. The federal government co-developed the fund in partnership with the Federation of African Canadian Economics (FACE) as loan fund administrator.
A Woke Military Wouldn’t Have Won World War II
Memorial Day traditionally marks the beginning of summer and a time for patriotic remembrance of our fallen war dead and, for many of us, fallen family members, many of whom were veterans. I have been thinking of the five sons of Victor Sowers, Sr., my mother’s brothers, all of whom served in World War II and returned, while pondering the parlous state of the military today.

Rutgers University chancellor and provost apologize for condemning rise in anti-Semitic attacks
Apparently, higher education in America has been so poisoned by the radical left that condemning a rise in physical attacks on innocent American Jews is now forbidden — unless one simultaneously indicates support for the very cause being advocated by the groups most prominent in the current attacks.
The Left wants ‘racial accountability,’ and that can only mean one very bad thing that should never happen on a national level

Liberal activists say they want a “conversation about a race” — they’ve been saying that for decades — but they rarely ever get around to explicitly stating what the point of that conversation is.
Washington Post liberal writer Christine Emba got sort of close, though. She wrote Wednesday that conservatives oppose critical race theory being taught in public schools, not because there’s anything wrong with it academically (though of course there is) but because it “might result in a real rethinking of the order of things, which might result in culpability, which might result in recognition that recompense is needed.”
There it is. Compensation. She also suggests “racial accountability.”
How the Emphasis on Race is Dividing America

Complaints over the Jaguars signing Tim Tebow while Colin Kaepernick is still sidelined demonstrate the dangers.
Spanish postal service blasted for ‘tone-deaf’ anti-racist campaign featuring black stamps worth LESS than white ones

The Spanish postal service has introduced a set of skin-toned stamps: the darker the stamp, the lower the value. Though aimed at defending “diversity, inclusion and equal rights,” the campaign has been mocked as “tone deaf.”
‘Systemic Racism’ Smuggles Its Way Into 127 TV Episodes

Goal number 21 of the 1963 communist goals is, “Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.” Well done, komrades.
In the year since the death of George Floyd, Hollywood has churned out 127 episodes of various TV shows promoting either “systemic racism,” BLM, or defunding the police.
This is the month I cut the cord.
The Child Soldiers of Portland

Famously the “whitest city in America,” Portland has become the unlikely headquarters of race radicalism in the United States. The city has elevated white guilt into a civic religion; its citizens have developed rituals, devotions, and self-criticisms to fight “systemic racism” and “white supremacy.” The culminating expression of this orthodoxy is violence: street militias, calling themselves “antiracists” and “antifascists,” smash windows and torch the property of anyone transgressing the new moral law.
