Why our institutions keep going woke and going broke
Opinion by Glenn H. Reynolds • 14h •


Can’t anybody here play this game?”

Those were the words manager Casey Stengel addressed to the bumbling 1962 New York Mets.

But nowadays, it might just as reasonably be addressed to the people who run our biggest and most important institutions.

“Get woke, go broke” has been a catchphrase for several years.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

And this “go woke, go broke” movement is winning, despite not having a leader

You don’t get any more grassroots than that
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

It has as much to do with changing demographics, as anything else.
