That's going to put the cat amongst the Persians.

Amongst other things, author Steve Krakauer says the media acted like there was only “one true acceptable opinion” on COVID-19 during the height of the pandemic.

DEI at Law Schools Could Bring Down America
After the Stanford episode, Ilya Shapiro sounds a warning: The threat to ‘dismantle existing structures’ is an idle one in English class. But in legal education it targets individual rights and equal treatment under the Constitution.

UAlbany students shout down conservative speaker
Appearance by writer and blogger Ian Haworth scuttled by protesters denouncing transphobia

The best comment I read about the protest was this one over at the Daily Mail "Time for every 18 year old to serve 2 years in the military - before college. This generation needs serious discipline."

I found a definition:

Woke: A person or organization so intent on appearing to be supportive of "social justice" that any semblance of common sense or critical thinking has been abandoned. Wokes will support any trendy social justice cause or organization, join any demonstration or boycott without considering the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident(s) giving rise to such actions. They view those not participating or simply suggesting more information be obtained prior to acting as misguided. Wokes are overly enthusiastic, guilt ridden, compensating, virtue signaling, non ethnic social justice warriors whose personal lives are devoid of challenge.

Canadian Parliament Gives Standing Ovation to Man Who Served in Waffen SS

You need to read the whole thing for complete context, but this part reads like a joke ...

Last year, Trudeau himself accused Conservative MPs sympathetic to the trucker convoy of standing with “people who wave swastikas”.  So according to him, someone who fought with the Nazis (against a country with which the British Empire was then allied) is a “Canadian hero”, but truckers who opposed the vaccine mandates – well they’re the real Nazis!

My advice to Hunka, the former SS soldier: if you want to steer clear of controversy, don’t fraternise with Canadian truckers.

Stop Press: The speaker of the Canadian parliament has apologized and accepted responsibility for honouring Hunka. So it seems that neither Trudeau nor the Canadian parliament was aware of Hunka’s role in the Waffen SS. Was not a single parliamentarian just a little bit suspicious?
