Wokeness Flunks Out

Wokeness, with its confining, extremist philosophy, politics,

and social rules, has taken root and devoured much of our 

country's society; sports, science, education, even business 

has been caught in the net of this movement. On the education

front many schools, especially state (public) schools have become

veritable indoctrination centers for making wokeness the 

order of the day, replacing free and critical thinking along with

academic rigor. George Washington University's law school

came under attack for its continued relationship with Justice

Clarence Thomas, as the Supreme Court member delivers a 

lecture on campus annually. Thomas is, of course, a conservative

and a black man, double trouble for lefties --- especially those of

the very far-left woke variety. 

So GWU explained in a letter, "Because we steadfastly support the

robust exchange of ideas and deliberation, and because debate is

an essential part of our university's academic and educational 

mission to train future leaders who are prepared to address the 

world's most urgent problems, the university will neither terminate 

Justice Thomas' employment nor cancel his class in response to 

his legal opinions." The university went on to state to its students

"It is not the proper role of the university to attempt to shield 

individuals within or outside the university from ideas and opinions 

they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or deeply offensive."

In other words, GWU's message to their woke objectors is,

quite simply, "Suck it up, buttercups!" The Peasant's message to 

the university is "Bravo!"
