the walking dead tried to explain the motivation of these creatures, so did the resident evil series in their own way

to accept woke as a descriptor is to adopt their cognitive frame, much like with so called Antifa, and similar situated, BLM, Weathermen and Black Liberation Army, Chris Rufo has the receipts,

Saw a survey where a quarter of pro Palestinian demonstrators were completely clueless as to which river, which sea, no idea on a proffered map where all this was supposed to happen.
So you’re running around chanting, waving banners, and never ask yourself, “What am I going on about?”.
I submit this is actually worse than the present issue.

And who….exactly is going to make the federal government give that up?

That’s the problem I have with these solutions. It’s separated from the reality on the ground.

Synthesizing Ackler and Neo on pompous bile retention, I think it likely that the aggregated chorus outweighs specific eruptions.

Although 90+% of professors have voted liberal for decades, being liberal was not as malignantly toxic as it has become. Bottom line: Skip’s Sodom and Gomorrah treatment (above top) is strongly indicated. Most of higher ed needs a deep reset.

Ackler:

Not only do they seem to remember it, but they have taken it into the workplace all over the US, and into the government as well.

I certainly don’t disagree with any of the above, but I do think we on the right easily overestimate the impact of academics on young people. The vast majority of students will certainly regurgitate whatever their professors espouse, for that (all too common and inflated) expected ‘A’. But how many of them are persuaded by or even remember any of the pompous bile these professors spew…it’s at least debatable.

The larger issue is that you’re average 18 year old has already been well indoctrinated into woke dogma by the time he sets foot into his first Black Studies or Queer Theory class. By K-12 education, my Hollywood, by popular music, by the MSM, etc. All of this remains, even if we defunded every college in America.

College rot includes decades of secret, illegal discrimination against hiring Republican professors.
Colleges with less than 30% Republicans, or less than 30% Democrats, should not get tax exemptions or other federal funds.

Diversity and Inclusion means free speech for those who disagree – or it’s not real diversity.

As physicsguy says, too many Dems are against cutting off all aid. JD Vance has introduced a 35% tax on big endowments. The gov’t cash going to Republican hating, and now Jew hating colleges will start getting a lot more scrutiny.

As will UN women’s orgs unwilling to immediately condemn the brutalization, rape, and torture of women.

A tweeter claims the girl hostages still held will never be released alive — their stories of treatment would be too much bad publicity.

Friendly fire killing is always so sad.

JJ notes that Republicans need to sweep House, Senate, and POTUS to achieve much. The last 90 years has had a lot more of Dem Presidents with both houses. Yet even then, many semi-RINOs can stop big changes.

Defunding is the best way to achieve change. However, as noted, the only way to do it is by winning elections. A Republican Senate, House, and POTUS could make the changes. As physics guy notes, it would drive a lot of the useless administrators out of academia.

Could such a thing happen (a GOP sweep of both houses and POTUS) in 2024? With the visibility that the three IVY presidents created, along with the antisemitism running amok, maybe the “silent majority’ will finally find its voice and speak loudly at the polls.

But the Republican politicians have to be willing to pursue the issues and say what needs to be done. It will take guts and statesmanship. Onward!
