Are you now, or have you ever been woke?

My cousin twice removed, Adrian Scott, was a screenwriter and  one of the Hollywood Ten. He was blacklisted for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).  He was a lefty.

I never knew him and wasn’t around for it, but I imagine that the thing that made the “Red Scare” scary was that you didn’t know when the finger of accusation was going to point at you and blow up your life.   That must be what it is like to be a teacher nowadays.

A Media Matters review of Raichik’s Twitter account found that Libs of TikTok has tagged or named at least 222 schools, education organizations, or school system employees in 2022, often directing users to harass an individual school district or teacher. In the last week alone, the account has targeted a school district, a middle school, and four teachers for teaching students about identity, sexuality, or other so-called “propaganda.”

    I guess I’m pretty woke for an old white guy. I have evolved over the years on and white privilege and LGBTQ issues. But I still roll my eyes about over-the-top language policing.

    Language policing is like HOA regs policing. Everybody thinks their infraction is minor. But that guy…Jesus, what a dick.

    I’m legit interested in examples of over the top language policing! Let’s examine this very important and real political issue

        The language police sound a lot like the regular police. Has MW dictionary been cancelled?

      Our society is on the precipice of full collapse because of this stuff. Has been for hundreds of years.
