Summary
New College of Florida has reinstated a controversial course on “wokeness,” led by British media personality Andrew Doyle, amid criticism over its one-sided portrayal of “wokeness” as a cult.
The course’s reading list includes Doyle’s own books and works by rightwing figures like Christopher Rufo, who has claimed that antiracist government policies would bring about “an end to the constitutional order.”
The college, under Governor Ron DeSantis’s influence, is undergoing a conservative transformation that has sparked backlash from students and staff, who report discomfort with the new administration’s ideological agenda.
The course’s reinstatement reflects the college’s shift toward rightwing educational reforms.
"Woke"just means logic- and fact-based now. So it’s as much a “cult” as scientists were called a “cult” by religions in the past.
didn’t Disantes ban like 40% of math books for being woke? literally MATH. In programming that’s like beefing with a spelling issue on a variable that’s used 2 times.
Oh and after they changed our math books we found a mistake or issue about every 3 days. We’re on like the 3rd edition (1st edition was the year after don’t say gay) and there’s still issues.
I guess that makes your comment woke.
