A study of 5.6mn courses at nearly 4,000 higher education institutions by Open Syllabus, a non-profit group, shows just 0.08 per cent mention critical race theory (CRT), structural racism, systemic racism or diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The share is also very low for other sensitive topics including transgender issues, as well as for related textbooks. The figures cast doubt on the intensifying “anti-woke” criticism of US education by right-wing Republicans, etc

It’s almost like it was all a fabrication to manufacture outrage.

    They also can’t explain what exactly “wokeness” is.

      If you put them in a room full of neo-nazis, they could explain it just fine. They only have trouble explaining it on television, where they need to pretend they’re not racist authoritarians.

        I’m not a neo-nazi, but I am a shoeless redneck. Some of them have no problem explaining it to me entirely unprompted while I’m riding in the back of their Uber. They take a look at me and just assume I’m one of them just because I look like I could be Alan Tudyk’s cousin from Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

          Start dressing in drag and watch their heads explode.

          Actually, maybe don’t. They’d literally murder you.

            Naw, not here. There’s loads of drag events in Houston. Apparently they just keep their mouths shut when the drag queens get a ride because I never hear from them about their Uber drivers being jackasses.

      It clearly means not liking money, people that look like Larry The-Cable-Guy, Country Music and the American Flag. It’s in the Bible, didn’t you know?
