How to Tell if Your College is Woke

How to Tell if Your College is Woke

It’s probably safe to assume most colleges are woke. It’s pretty much the rule now.

Dr. Carol Swain writes at Cannon:

Is Your College Woke? Here’s How to Tell

America’s elite institutions of higher education have long remained the home of “woke” ideologies and divisive concepts which most Americans would rebuff. For this tiny fraction of those teaching and being educated at our nation’s elite colleges, the prevailing factors used to describe any type of racial disparities, whether it be in health care, education, income, or life expectancy, were always the same: systemic racism, structural racism, and implicit bias. These ideas all belong to radical ideology known as critical race theory (CRT).

The ideas associated with CRT have spread like a virus to all sectors of public life. In recent years, America’s public higher education institutions have started to adopt such divisive teachings as well. University faculties are adopting pedagogy related to “social justice” and “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) into their courses. Students at public universities have no choice but to learn this material.

Texans need not look further than their state capital to see the pervasiveness of critical race theory. The University of Texas at Austin, a flagship university of the Lone Star State, continues to promote DEI initiatives. Even the LBJ School of Public Affairs in Austin—which is purported to be one of the nation’s top public policy schools—inculcates its students and faculty with “justice, equity, diversity & inclusion” (JEDI) topics in its core curricula.

The Legal Insurrection Foundation has launched CriticalRace.org to expose the universities that are indoctrinating students with trainings related to CRT. CriticalRace.org has examined over 500 higher education institutions in the United States and has documented instances of critical race training.
