Again Christopher exposes the political activism of state funded higher education. And while it is more explicit since 2020, this leftist slant has been ongoing for years in the academy resulting in a massive majority of educators and administrators with one viewpoint. Our country is reaping the harvest.
.."approximately 80 percent of whom are racial minorities. But for the leadership, the goal of “diversity” is an ideological, rather than demographic, project."
This is fascinating! So, the incessant, interminable claims that all they want are "the numbers" to verify "equity," they actually just want to keep their project going, along with their justification for making $350 K per year.
just more proof that Social Justice Inc isn't a normal political movement with tangible goals (like the Civil Rights movement it pretends to represent), but a religious-spiritual movement with no brakes and no OFF switch, or as Orwell said: "a boot stamping on a human face forever."
God bless Chris Rufo for being America's sole Hercules willing to attempt cleaning up the ideological manure factories that are the Augean Stables of our time. (Though I do worry about his psyche sometimes—Chris, how do you read all this stuff and not go mad with rage??)
I'm sure I've said this here before, but as someone who's had a front-row seat to the Leftist capture of academia since the 90s, one of the more shocking aspects was how all this madness was left unchecked in red states too, and even rubber-stamped by generations of supposedly conservative legislators.
When it comes to American academia, our country is like someone who waited to see a doctor until his minor rash became a bad case of gangrene about to devour his entire body. Hopefully the gangrene here (the takeover of our entire culture by authoritarian fanatics) can be fixed with a few strategic amputations, and the patient can survive.
And if so, and the worst manifestations of Leftism are eradicated, maybe next we can move on to the other side of the aisle and weed out all these supposed conservative politicians who represent money not people, and who were fine with funding and inflicting a Red Guard on America, as long as it didn't injure their donors' wallets.
The implication of taxing us to pay for this is that we have some sort of duty to support it. A duty! We do not. There are many thousands of hardworking, tax-paying citizens who are not at all well-to-do and yet must "fork over" to pay for obnoxious and very-well-paid sinecurists who purport to lecture (hector, really) and "correct" said citizens - and impose outlandish social and administrative costs, penalties and "punishments," etc. It is parasitical and gross.
This "revolutionary" freeloading and wage-theft produces nothing but social antagonism and pointless social aggression. It is a formula for the opposite of social peace and the sense that we (me and any taxpayer who wants to be my neighbor) have a common good and destiny. It instigates social "change" allright," but not improvement.
It is always important to move past moralistic rhetoric and to specifics - it is in these specifics that one can see most clearly that this "movement" is false and unjust, and should be resisted.
Yes! Put a light on the Details of their training, like sex toy giveaways. Such crudeness reveals the essence of their purpose more than their accompanying thousand paragraph, puffy morality Inversion couched as “behavior modification to increase equality.”
It’s quite the opposite! Law abiding taxpayers do not need programs that present them from a sideshow carnival mirror. To mock them as ogres, elevates unjustified hate - to instruct that whites are an ogre made of hidden cruelty and evil intent is the height of inversion. It’s a carnival mirror. A distortion. It is a lie.
I’m not buying that image of any race, and thank God the perpetrators of such an attack on citizens is exposed ! Stay the course, Rufo, for therein lies sound reasoning and goodwill!
Thank you for bringing the information about Texas colleges out in to the light of day. We live in Texas, I attended Texas A&M and my husband UT. I hope that your efforts and the efforts of other conservative alumni (mainly TAMU, UT may be a lost cause) will change my school enough to where I feel good about my kids attending in 6 years. I can tell you that there are many alumni, like myself who have stopped donations until things get better.
As long as people will pay to go to these institutes, the garbage will continue to flow. Florida is in the cleansing process (thank you!) and I hope others follow suit.
I agree, but before the cleansing process began in Florida, the citizens elected a very competent governor and gave him a Republican majority in their legislature. Gov. DeSantis knows precisely where the woke cult has focused its indoctrination and recruitment efforts and he has the courage and stamina to commit himself to a targeted counterattack. What I have read is that some students have dropped out of Florida colleges, especially the New College, so that is some loss of income. If the New College becomes more functional and cost effective I would expect the enrollment to rise again, but we will have to wait and see.
I have been impressed with the Bud Lite situation. This event gave a large number of Americans an opportunity to express their feelings about one part of the woke/Democratic Party agenda. A loss of 20% for a corporation does make a dent in their DEI initiative regarding trans activists. Anheuser-Busch doesn't really seem to get the significance of the rage being directed at them, though. They think if they just put out a few more special cans with alpha masculine images the American beer drinking demographic will be pacified and the company's relationship with them will be fixed. Maybe it will. I hope that we are given a lot more opportunities like this one to show woke capitalists how we feel about their virtue.
Page 46 of the documents is potent. It talks about "The danger of the single story", that "Power is the ability to tell the story of another person and make it definitive". That a single story "create[s] stereotypes", "robs people of their dignity" and "makes recognition of common humanity difficult".
I couldn't agree more. The single story of Woke Marxism is *designed* to take power over other people by telling their story and making it definitive. It stereotypes them, robs them of their dignity and makes recognition of their common humanity difficult.
This is the Iron Law of Woke Projection - they project their evil actions onto everyone else.
Go deep on the New Discourses website and podcast content - James Lindsay is 'doing the work' of reading Marxist books and papers and explaining what they are really doing, especially the podcast episodes 'The Negation of the Real', 'The Gnostic Parasite' and 'As Below, So Above' (in that order).
Thank you for this! I live in Houston and this is something I never would have thought of coming out of Texas (probably too naive to accept DEI has infected everything), along with the Texas Children's Hospital story. Please keep up the good work. God Bless from Texas.
There really is no reason why any reasonable citizen minding his or her own business should suspect something like this of going on. It is so outrageous that no reasonable person should think of such a thing.
We should definitely abolish DEI on all campuses. Resources would be better spent addressing mental health issues, as isolation and depression are signs that the individual needs counseling rather than DEI propaganda.
With increased shootings in Texas, lawmakers ought to address the mental wellness of their constituents rather than push an agenda that is bound to become obsolete in the near future; happy people who wish to remain happy do not vote for the oppressor/oppressed narrative.
Being a healthy minority, I and many others I know, do not wish to tell our children they are oppressed and might as well become nihilistic in perspective.
Nihilism is the harbinger of drug abuse, crime, and mass shootings. Our country could do with less of that.
Sounds like dystopian "training", and pure psychological indoctrination and terror. Thanks for writing these practices out so clearly. And there's something pathological with seeing f.ex. sexual orientation as the entirety of your being. We are all both majority and minorities in different aspects in life.
Thanks for your great work, and congrats with the Big Wins in Florida. Inspiring!
I don't understand why these woke bureaucrats think they have to teach college students how to have sex. Apparently there is some problem with college students simply not being as interested in sex as they were in my generation, but if they become interested at some point I would think that classes would be unnecessary. It's just very weird how these prissy puritanical cultists are so obsessed with young peoples' sexuality.
“...they have figured out how to extract an ongoing public subsidy to engage in private left-wing activism.” Bingo!
Great work once again. You are a hero for doing this work.

that surprised me too...

Exactly ! Perfect metaphor !
all praise to orwell!
LOL!! That is intense, CP! It might pop up for me again the next time I encounter one of the enemy!
is the end of "1984" i think

Outstanding imagery, CP! Your metaphors are excellent! Very visceral and organic.
thx u very kind!

this garbage won't stop as long as alumni donate and students (or their parents) pay tuition.

Sounds like a cult.
Yes, the New Discourses website / podcast explains that it is a cult.
Chris Rufo is the most effective conservative activist in the country.

I would bet Soros money was infused into their Humanities Department. Again, money talks also to Marxism.
