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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Wrong reaction.  Did you even read the headline, much less the article?

And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
