The WOKE Generation!

Post Reply New Topic

I created a thread where "rogue" teachers of young children DID indoctrinate a twisted form of CRT.
If I have the "spoons", I may dig it up.

"Woke gone Rogue"...
That might make a good youtube clip title.

Sounds like a plan.

I am not interested in changing someone's mind.
Never really have been.
You can't reason with a closed mind, so why waste the "spoons". <shrug>

And, of course, this...erm...
Well, you know...

Individual teachers might go overboard on over-emphasising particular historic events (I think its called catastrophising) which might be overenthusiasm but it's not CRT.
Primary and Secondary school teachers are not trained in CRT. just like a kinder teacher is not trained in calculus.

I watch Sky News, where you can find intelligent, professional critical thinkers with integrity.
cyberdad and I both consider Andrew Bolt to be such a person.
(cyberdad hates him, hence the joke. )

Andrew Bolt (unlike Rowan Dean) is intellectual.

The BIG one, over here in Australia, is the ABC.
I am sure you would agree...NOT, as Borat would say.

I like them both, but I do find Rowan more humorous, creative, and satirical.
"The Outsiders" is the number one watched political show on Sky News, I believe.
I find it extremely entertaining since I DO like satire/absurdity.

I based my opinion on the video YOU presented.
It was cringe-worthy.
Before that time, I never heard of her.

Oh ok, The point of the video was to demonstrate that intellectuals (Like Charles Murray for example) can support unsubstantiated ideas because of personal bias. Mandel has specific conservative values which she has tried to use wokeism as a crutch to support, but from her bungling on the podcast she actually doesn't understand (or at least spent much time on) the concept.

OK, Dr Jekyll. I will take your word on it.
I don't know much about this topic, so I will defer to your greater knowledge.

I'm tired of the abliesm, racism and misogyny in the workplace, academia, and pop culture. I have been verbally abused, sexually harassed and told to my face that I did not know anything about jobs and scientific fields I was overqualified for. Down with the good old days; oppressed people of the world have nothing to lose bu our chains, all power to the Woke Generation.

Not EVERYTHING/K "woke" is good.

Willing to share?

Yeah, been called "boy" on the job a few times, was sexually harassed in front of everyone by the D.O.O's mom; who was only supposed to be the lab's GMP consultant and knew the assessor personally, but was given a no work position without a title (why settle for 1 conflict of interest when you can get a three fer?). Was effectively fired from an understaffed lab mere weeks after the Head of R&D thanked me for hitting the ground running so quickly because I told a condescending, less skilled coworker not to call me "sweetie", pretty sure I'd have been axed on the spot if roles had been reversed. Most recently, a new chemist told the entire lab I didn't know anything about what the company does, in person and on a conference Zoom. This, and potentially fatal accidents caused by coworkers who are out 30% of time, get no questions asked PTO, cry themselves into raises and still get promotions etc. At some point I realized my working conditions are no better than those my grandfathers endured in the mid twentieth century, only they had union representation, defined benefit plans and some semblance of progressive mass movements that made headway until the mid '70s.

I am glad people are starting to wake up and realize that this woke nonsense is just plain evil. I also found out that libraries are pulling Agatha Christie's classics.
