Wokinistas. I like it. And if she removed all the garbage as described, the message would have been very short. Mostly consisting of “the”, “and”, with a few other short words that were ‘triggerless’.

This is very good.

Good insight, very thoughtful.

She is a woman in STEM. They are so desperate to have those that it provides her a level of protection.

A white guy from the humanities department would be roadkill.

All these "committees"...

An old STEM truism is that a camel is a horse designed by a committee.
A committee dilutes responsibility. It is thus a favorite tool of the Left. Failure can be hidden, and Democrats specialize in failure.

Good stuff. Good to see academics use their gifts to good use.

My sister is an excellent middle school math teacher in Baltimore. STEM used to be exempt, but that exemption has disappeared in the last 10 years. Every district in the country is desperate for good math teachers, but it seems that WOKE takes priority everywhere these days.

My sister is fearful to open her mouth at all thinking on any topic because she feels they are looking for any excuse to get rid of her (she is consistently the highest rated math teacher).

In her ten years there, the faculty has inverted from 80/20 white/black to 80/20 black/white. The popular current “thinking” is that only black teachers can teach black kids. The dominant culture there won’t be satisfied until it is 100/0 black/white teachers. Whether the teachers are good or get results is irrelevant.

This is happening in all math and sciences departments all over the country. Just take a look at any education journal these days. You will be appalled.

So, blacks want segregated schools? I thought we had fought that war 50 years ago.

No, white leftist Democrats want segregated schools under the guise of wokeness, which means **the same Democrat racists want the same racism they always wanted**.

Maybe your sister should start looking at private schools to teach at. Excellence always finds a way.
