The Woke Movement Is Assassinating MLK All Over Again
[ISSUESINSIGHTS] ... We could start just about anywhere, but we begin with ​​Florida International University, a public institution that mirrors the hard boys’ march through our institutions. Its diversity
We are assured it's our strength. If you actually believe that, you may consider an IQ test to see if you've been Fettermanned
, equity, and inclusion program "condemns the United States as a system of ’white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
,’" and "segregates scholarships and student programs by race," says author and filmmaker Christopher Rufo.

Elsewhere in Florida, Rufo tells us, universities funded by taxpayers’ dollars are:

  • encouraging "active discrimination against the ’oppressor’ class, characterized as ’male, white, heterosexual, able-bodied, and Christian’";

  • using psychological conditioning to address, among other issues, the killing of unarmed blacks, systemic racism and privilege, presumed to be all white;

  • creating racially segregated counseling programs;

  • adopting a series of DEI programs that divide "Americans along a ’matrix of oppression,’ castigate Christians for their ’Christian privilege,’ and offer a racially segregated scholarship that deliberately bars white students from applying."

Remember, these few examples, which make Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle, are in Florida, a red state whose governor is diligently trying to ensure that schools educate rather than indoctrinate. Imagine how deeply embedded the rot is elsewhere.

Moving on to the federal level, we have an administration bent on tearing down a half-century of progress.

"There is nothing that President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
has done while in office that has as much long-term potential for doing damage to American society and government as his embrace of the woke
...the on-going war against good sense...
DEI — diversity, equity and inclusion — catechism," writes Jonathan S. Tobin, editor in chief of the Jewish News Syndicate.

DEI, says Tobin, "which stems from critical race theory ideology," runs counter "to the principle of equality and the vision of a color-blind society that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of." Yet Biden’s mandate "that every federal department, agency and office devise and then implement its own equity plan ensures a future of quotas and heightened racial division."

Divisive programs have even infected the Pentagon, which has a DEI office whose chief has sown division, and a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who’s said "I want to understand white rage, and I’m white, and I want to understand it."

Locally, teachers, administrators, and school boards are wrecking the MLK legacy. If they’re not telling white students that they are racist, should be ashamed of themselves, and indulging radical speakers who believe schools are "spirit murdering" black children, then they’re lowering standards to aid minorities, fully consistent with the soft bigotry of low expectations.

And then there are the DEI shysters such as Robin DiAngelo, a white woman who has grown fabulously wealthy making progressive rich whites feel guilty for sins they haven’t committed (while simultaneously being disappointed by them), and telling "​​people of color" they "need to get away from white people and have some community with each other."

None of this is what Martin Luther King Jr. lived or died for. But it’s a pot of gold for grifters, race hustlers, status seekers, political hacks, and just plain mean people. At least we know who they are.
