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.”

Why didn’t someone shout “Shut up and just file for welfare!”
Good luck America!
BTW when does a state in America rename itself New Palestine? I’m guessing Michigan.
When I was 22 I was still a libtard.
Getting married, having children, getting a job, paying taxes, becoming a manager, traveling the world, cured me of this mentally twisted world view.
I’m sure in 10 years many of these kids will have very different views.
Probably cause he could steal an education.
Why didn't a hundred jump up and start booing, not ceasing until the fools were removed?
(Likely answer: they know that both the FBI and the IRS would get the video, track them down, and make their lives miserable.)
That would have been me. But it doesn’t do any good and it embarrassed my son. Sigh.
And this is why when the WAR starts we should empty out every University in America for the Draft FIRST!!!
“We sit on stolen land”
then WHY... did you CHOOSE to go there???
GET THE H—L OUT THEN!
...or...just bring a couple bags of bananas and hand them out, eating quietly...

We are presented with two views of history, that incredibly compete for attention in this country. We must reject the premises of the cultural Marxist because Cultural Marxism itself cannot live peaceably with federal republicanism or individual autonomy, and in fact must replace it.
Karl Marx said, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything exists within the bounds of infinity. Humanity exists as swarms of creatures identified to be irradicated or dominated. In this country people resolve the principles of Cultural Marxism to support the creation of White Privilege, Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory and a host of other fallacies.
The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. In this expression, the Creator residing beyond infinity reaches into our world from eternity to endow individuals with inestimable value despite the human condition, and therefore remind those holding governing positions of their own fallibility and central duty.
This country needs “a new birth of freedom” to keep faith with the Declaration of Independence and Constitution as the embodiment of the American ideal. Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the blood stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same”.

The Chief tenant of marxism is that the last must be destroyed to create the future they want.
