What is "woke"?

[Winehole23]

Where are you SpursTalk women protectors

[Winehole23]

Y'all don't want girls and women playing sports at all

[Winehole23]

not real universities anymore

politically disfavored viewpoints are decredentialled and abolished

[Winehole23]

in a free marketplace of ideas, what need is there to eliminate politically disfavored subjects?

[Winehole23]

nobody signed up, so now it will (maybe, as proposed by a state legislator) be a core requirement to take right wing indoctrination

similar is proposed in WV, after notably weak student interest

Ohio is considering making conservative political indoctrination a core requirement in colleges and universities

lol DEI for conservative ideas that already failed in the free market

students are not very interested in right wing political indoctrination at college, why make it mandatory?

[Winehole23]

woke is when Republicans spend millions to mandate right wing state indoctrination at a state university and only one student signs up

Only one student has registered for courses at West Virginia University’s new Washington Center, an academic program mandated by Republican lawmakers for the campus.

State lawmakers have allocated $3 million in state dollars to the “Washington Center for Civics, Culture and Statesmanship” in the last two years ahead of it officially opening this fall.

“I do think that it’s important for the Legislature and for the governor to reflect on this… there is a question about whether or not this is the best use of public funds,” said Erik Herron, a professor of political science at WVU. “I think the Washington Center, ironically, seems to be exactly what it complains that higher education has become. It was created in Charleston, and it was imposed on the university, so it’s a big government mandate.”

“Dr. Miller and the Washington Center are going to push back on the woke ideology that has infected our schools and help return higher education to its true purpose,” Morrisey said during a press conference last year.

House Bill 3297 mandated that WVU operate the Washington Center focused on teaching cons utional studies and “great debates of Western civilization.”

Proposed college courses this fall include “Woke,” “Nation and Migration” and “The New Right.” The center has hired faculty members ahead of its launch.

“As of June 22, one student was enrolled in three separate Washington Center courses,” said Shauna Johnson, WVU’s executive director of strategic communications. “Twenty-four courses were originally proposed/listed for the Fall 2026 semester. Eighteen are now available.”

The $3 million in state funding, which included $1.5 million in the Fiscal Year 2027 budget, also covers a scholarship available to Washington Center students.
Miller did not return interview requests for this story.

well of course not

UT is now vetting curriculum to eliminate politically disfavored viewpoints

Chaos and authoritarianism at UT Austin. Faculty have just days to show how their courses meet vague requirements of breadth and foundationalism. Proposals will be reviewed by an unspecified en y. No guarantee at all that those who review the proposals have expertise in the field.

I'm teaching Race, Law and US Society, which is on this list and has been deemed "too narrow." Some readings: US Cons ution, Federalist Papers, Notes on the State of Virginia, Cherokee Nation Cases, Scott v. Stanford, Brown v Board... so US legal history... too narrow? Or just too about race?

Because Doris Miller was black, Hegseth is taking his name off a ship

Trump isn't fit to carry this man's shoes, tbh

Doris Miller being recognized as a military hero wasn't DEI, it was -- is -- factually true

Doris Miller got the Navy Cross at the time, when US armed forces were still segregated

[Winehole23]

public ins utions shouldn't have to do the job of lazy, uninvolved parents, tbh

[Winehole23]

muzzling everyone's speech at all times, in all places, is radical

ins utional neutrality is weird ethic for a university
