Firsthand notes from a wokester graduation ceremony.
“We sit on stolen land” said the speaker at the University of Minnesota graduation ceremony, asking everyone in the auditorium to acknowledge that “fact.”
“Racism is endemic, systemic in this country,” said another presenter. “We must make certain we are striving for equitable outcomes in the future.”
“It is not enough for us in the nursing program to heal the human sick and wounded. We must also strive to heal the planet,” said a third, referring to climate change.
“Diversity is our strength,” said yet another.
All the proud parents, friends, and family members were anxiously waiting to witness their loved ones graduate, but first they were asked to acknowledge that they were occupying stolen land. Those in control of the event, occupying the bully-pulpit as it were, thought it mandatory to attempt to coerce those of us in attendance into believing — or at least acknowledging — a preposterous piece of ideological drivel. It would not have felt out of place at that moment had we been asked to stand and swear our fealty to this notion — and, by extension, to them -- by way of a Nazi-style salute.
And then we were subjected to roughly an hour of various speakers, several from North African or Middle Eastern nations, berating America, and everything it once stood for. (As they stood there, living testaments to the benefits and opportunities that nation, in which they themselves are not native/indigenous, provided them! Talk about “chutzpah!”)
A speaker lectured us on the “genocide” in Gaza. A voice or two chimed in with “Free Palestine!”
We were similarly treated to a tutorial on “women’s reproductive care.”

Rats know how to destroy the American republic better than conservatives know how to save it.
THE SWEDES/NORWEGIANS/GERMANS who settled Minnesota would NOT agree at any level.
They can do TOO MUCH DAMAGE in 10 years.
Diversity is our downfall.
I’m so sick and tired of these stupid imbeciles.
We played the game by the same rules as the Natives. The only difference was that they were Neolithic cultures while we were early Industrial.
