College and university admissions have always been based on merit. Even after the introduction of Affirmative Action, all prospective students were still expected to submit transcripts, test scores, essays, and recommendation letters. Now that the entire left is running headlong towards Critical Race Theory, that may be about to change.

When some Republicans objected to the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, Democrats called it a threat to democracy. Woke corporations fell in line and shut off donations to the GOP. Now that Democrats are trying to overturn a certified House race in Iowa, Mitch McConnell and Republicans in the Senate are demanding an equal reaction.

You don't hear much about it, but there is a growing divide between the transgender community and feminists who adhere to the idea that biology matters and that being a woman is about more than declaring it. At the University of Rhode Island, Professor Donna Hughes, who teaches women and gender studies, is now under fire for challenging the left's position on the issue.

One of the most astonishing things of the last year has been seeing the left successfully migrate woke culture into every aspect of American life, including the United States Military. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who is a veteran, is now introducing a bill which seeks to block the military from Critical Race Theory indoctrination.
