Florida’s liberal New College reinstates ‘wokeness’ course — but calls movement ‘cult’ with ‘illiberal’ methods
Story by Steve Janoski • 15h
A liberal Florida college has reinstated a course on “wokeness,” which describes the movement as “a kind of cult,” despite backlash from lefty students — defending it as “never more relevant than today.”
The Sarasota-based New College of Florida had included the class in its course catalog — issued last Saturday — shortly before it disappeared, then reappeared in subsequent versions, fourth-year student Sara Engels told The Guardian.
The catalog’s description claimed the offering was an intro to what’s “best understood as a kind of cult” whose members are “generally decent people with good intentions, but their methods are essentially illiberal.” British media provocateur Andrew Doyle was originally listed as the course’s instructor.
