“Peak Woke”

University student ordered to undergo psychological evaluation & then suspended after questioning definition of ‘microaggressions’

A student who was suspended by the University of Virginia for daring to ask questions during a presentation about ‘microaggressions’ has taken the institution to court, with his story sparking disbelief and anger on social media.

The bizarre saga begins in October 2018, when Kieran Bhattacharya, a student at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine, attended a panel discussion on the subject of ‘microaggressions.’ During a Q&A session, Bhattacharya asked the presenter, an assistant dean at the university, to clarify what constitutes a mini form of aggression.

The Woke Supremacists Are The Most Dangerous People In America

The Woke want you to believe White supremacists are everywhere and responsible for everything bad that happens in America. That’s factually incorrect because real White Supremacists are a minuscule number of people. The Left tries to change the meaning of the term to put all White people in that category. Inexplicable best-selling books on race tell us all they are inherently racist and can never do enough good to fix it.

‘Yankee Go Home’

Ed West is a prominent British conservative journalist. In this piece, written more in a tone of sorrow than anger, he reflects on how he has soured on America. Excerpts:

To my generation, growing up in the Cold War, that sense of America The Protector still lingered. I remember as a child seeing US troops at Checkpoint Charlie and being aware that it was thanks to them that we didn’t have to keep our eyes down like the poor prisoners of East Berlin. As a British child, when you watched American films or American TV, you identified with the Americans against our common enemies around the world.

Woke Battle Brews At PBS: Why Does One White, Male Filmmaker Get All The Support?

Is it time to cancel Ken Burns at PBS? It’s not easy being a white, male, cisgender filmmaker these days over at the taxpayer-funded public television network. Burns has achieved immense success for his documentaries made for PBS and has been generously rewarded for his work there. A group of nearly 140 filmmakers and other professionals is blasting PBS for a lack of diversity behind the scenes. Their complaint says there is just too much Ken Burns.

If I recall correctly Burns was pressured to include the “Black experience” in his WW II documentary. That production was such a dud they should probably ask that those segments be cut. The sound track alone turned me off and I have never been able to watch the whole thing.

The Georgia House strikes back at Delta

Just as Georgia was a flashpoint after the election because of the run-off election for the Senate, Georgia is again a flashpoint now that the Democrats, led by Creepy Joe, are demonizing the sensible steps the Georgia Legislature enacted to prevent election fraud. What’s amusing about the Democrats’ histrionics is watching as corporations that have earned brownie points for years by being woke, are getting slapped around by the left for not being woke enough. Even funnier is that, when Delta Airlines responded by “woking up,” the Georgia House stepped in to slap it around some more.

The Latest Canceling at Vanderbilt Shows That Everyone Is Awful and We Are All Doomed

The latest episode of cancel culture at Vanderbilt University should terrify Americans.

This is a harbinger of the damage the woke “social justice” mob can do when there are no adults in the room, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of not standing up to the ridiculous standards of modern outrage.

Last month, Vanderbilt University held its elections for the president and vice president of student government. The two leading campaigns pitted Jordan Gould and Amisha Mittal against Hannah Bruns and Kayla Prowell.

Shortly after the campaign began, rumors swirled that Gould, who is Jewish, attended a Sigma Chi fraternity event that broke the fraternity into North and South teams, with games and events loosely based on the Civil War. Cue the outrage.

‘Dig Deep’: Students At Catholic School Instructed To Describe How They Benefit From White Privilege

“How do you benefit from white privilege, and how have you held onto that benefit (despite knowing the harm it does)?” one question presented to 11th-graders in an ethics class at Loyola Academy, a Jesuit school, said, according to Fox News.

“What have you learned about the ways you have specifically wield[ed] this privilege that do harm (whether you intend to or not)?” the next question said, also instructing students not to “sugar coat” and to avoid describing the positive things they’ve done with their “privilege.”
