Few educators were out on the vanguard of this massive battle against the DEI, CRT, ESG, and other alphabet warriors.

Most other educators were too afraid to raise the BS Flag. But there was an articulate, motivated and true subject matter expert by the name of Christopher Rufo leading the charge.

This military Veteran salutes your victory; a true victory for our Constitution and our nation.

Like all stereotypes, the image of the academic buried in his little corner of scholarship and ignoring the outside world is based in truth. The reality is a bit different. The politically active American professoriate has always been leftist, if not outright Red, and to our shame, conservative academics rarely dissent because the tendency is to keep one's head down and tend one's garden. I suppose it's like most other professions--you don't want to make waves in the gravy boat.

But after so much time trying to ignore outright insanity, if not evil, anyone with a conscience will be moved to act in some way. With the insanity following Trump's election in 2016, I quit my academic post in the spring of 2017, moved to Florida from a deeply Blue State, worked at a job in the shipping industry for a few years, then took an early retirement from teaching.
