I have struggled to get my 71 year old brain around the WOKE phenomenon.

Victor David Hanson's article seems to express my understanding:

I consider Woke to be a negative thing, but liberals seem to lean the other way, and are appalled that anyone could consider it as negative. 🤔 i would go so far as to say  Woke is  the exact opposite of Awakened in my vernacular.

Victor David Hanson is one of my absolute favorite conservative political commentators. His analysis of current conditions is always the absolute best.  He has a very special insight to such things and has a unique ability of presenting that insight.

QuoteIf you're headed off to college this fall, beware: there's a virus circulating on campuses nationwide. And no, I'm not talking about COVID-19 or flu, but about something much more virulent and destructive, a pathogen that attacks your brain rather than your lungs, leaving you unable to think clearly or behave rationally.

I'm talking about the mind virus known as wokeism.

My daughter is in college right now for her 2nd year.  No woke mind virus available.  She is in a school that just teaches the Bible.  She can transition into adulthood with scriptural training rather than leftist indoctrination.
