A study of 5.6mn courses at nearly 4,000 higher education institutions by Open Syllabus, a non-profit group, shows just 0.08 per cent mention critical race theory (CRT), structural racism, systemic racism or diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The share is also very low for other sensitive topics including transgender issues, as well as for related textbooks. The figures cast doubt on the intensifying “anti-woke” criticism of US education by right-wing Republicans, etc
It’s almost like it was all a fabrication to manufacture outrage.
University tends to teach people critical thinking skills. This will often lead them to reject counterfactual claims made by radical ideologies. So obviously the people promoting those radical ideologies will not like that.
This was me. Not that I was racist in any way, but I was brought up with a father that absolutely did not (still does not) think that systemic racism existed, that wokeness was damaging, really that any issues the left focused on were mindless and stupid and damaging.
I went into my first sociology class with that kind of mindset, and the moment I actually started doing research for papers, I realized how wrong I was.
Really the only people who rail against “woke” education are the ones who haven’t gone to college (my dad) or those making money and power from the grift.
