Disagree with the connection to images. For most books

I was thinking of online, and games.

As for comics,

I learned a lot from the old ones.

Superman! Batman! Wonder Woman!

Before wokeism, and not Wonder Woman.

Wokeism 101:

As proclaimed in the manifesto of a feminist wordcrafter ("Brianna Thompson") in wokeducation, warring against what God ordained, and who is employed from a college founded in 1824 by Episcopal Bishop Philander Chase,

"...intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality, class and ability, the sex/gender system of oppression has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial, civil rights and LGBTQ social movements,...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...
Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity... As a class collective, our aim is to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality, as contested sites of pleasure and pain, are embodied and experienced."
This counts toward the methods requirement for the major. Prerequisite: ENGL 103 or 104. Open only to first-year and sophomore students.

Author is Brianna Thompson, who teaches courses in American women’s literature, queer theory and utopias/Afrofuturism at Kenyon college (founded by Episcopal Bishop in 1824). Course is Reading and Writing Gender and Sexuality ENGL 214, https://www.kenyon.edu/academics/departments-and-majors/english/academic-program-requirements/courses-in-english/

I think we can agree on the idiocy of woke education.

Just as religion has its place in religious schools, where people can positively choose to have it as part of their curriculum, and can negatively choose not have it in public institutions where the subject can be avoided.

Though I don’t mind seeing religion - all religions, that is - discussed as part of a curriculum of history/culture/social studies, etc. I would object to the woke professors putting a biased spin on its history. But then, today, I don’t know how to encourage any child to go to any college where free thinking has been censored to a single, approved belief structure. I’m relying on Trump getting to the issue of biased education sooner rather than later.
