California educators are the latest to push for so-called “equity” in mathematics through the adoption of a curriculum that allegedly seeks to rid those courses of “white supremacy culture,” as the subject got renewed attention this week.

I made mistakes. But my departure wasn’t the solution to the CBC’s problem with racism
“… The CBC did not offer me any public support. And I did not defend myself because I just wanted to return to work. In the midst of last year’s racial reckoning, I also felt it would have been wrong for me to play the victim card.
But my silence backfired as players on all sides used me as a cudgel to advance political interests. While some journalists offered public support, my most vocal defenders were free-speech warriors who wanted to make me a cautionary tale about the dangers of cancel culture. That distinction horrified me, because I’ve fought to cancel injustice my whole life. I resented being made a poster child of a movement I wasn’t part of.”

The Olympics are canceled: Like everything else, the games are becoming a woke circus
The Olympic Games in Tokyo are doomed. Before the opening ceremony, before even the torch is lit, it’s not going to be OK. The games, I’m afraid, just aren’t woke enough. Apologies to Tokyo and Japan — and #StopAsianHate and so on. But for the international left, sport no longer matters unless it can be used to win on Twitter and advance the War for Progress.
Get Ready For A ‘Woke’ Olympics
The Olympics in Tokyo this year is set to be the most political yet, and the games haven’t even started.
Woke Revolution, Residential Schools And Trudeau’s War On Christianity
To be forthright, Cultural Action Party of Canada called it from day one. Rather than sunny ways, freshly-minted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would over time bring serious trouble to society. He has done so in myriad ways– worst of all being an unprecedented form of social division.
An outcome of community disharmony is perhaps best exemplified by Justin Trudeau’s agenda of attack upon Christian Canada, in combination with an advancement of 3rd World religious communities.
Hammer-thrower Gwen Berry’s tweets about ‘retarded’ white people and rape resurface after protesting national anthem
The U.S. hammer-thrower who turned away from the American flag during the national anthem at an Olympic trial wrote about drunk “white people” being “sooo retarded” and made light of rape in her early 20s.

Woke Law Professor Tells French Their Food Is Racist
University of Connecticut Law Professor Mathilde Cohen raised the hackles of quite a few French people last week when she told a bewildered audience at Sciences Po Paris and the University of Nanterre that eating French food is an expression of “White Privilege.”
“I would like to tell you about ‘food Whiteness’ in French culture,” Cohen begins, “By this I mean the use of food to reinforce ‘Whiteness’ as a dominant racial identity.”
Every ‘Racist’ Confederate Statue the House Voted to Remove from Congress Is of a Democrat
Democrats are constantly talking about “having difficult conversations” and “acknowledging the evils of American history” — and yet, whenever they have the chance to wipe out a conversation starter, it is torn down, ripped out or burned to ashes.
Jewish college students stunned to find hate coming from progressive peers
The most surprising thing about this story is that it was published by CNN. The story focuses on two Jewish college students, both of whom consider themselves progressives interested in a host of progressive causes. But both have also felt themselves excluded and even targeted for abuse when their progressive peers discover they are Jewish.
As Kathy used to say – They’re too stupid to really be Jewish.
White House reiterates Biden pledge to fill any Supreme Court vacancy with first black woman
President Joe Biden is sticking by his campaign promise to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court if a seat opens during his term, the White House said.
Asked whether the White House is preparing for a possible vacancy on the nine-judge court, Psaki reiterated Biden’s pledge to advance diversity in his administration, including for the country’s top justices.
I nominate Candace Owens!
Step Aside – A modest proposal to uproot systemic racism in the media
“… The fundamental principle underlying the idea of systemic racism in our time is that every white person, whether explicitly racist or not, is a participant in America’s systemic oppression of black people. This infinite regression of culpability—in which, if a white person confesses to racism, he is a racist, and if he doesn’t, he is even more a racist—is a construction of systemic accusation created out of the fabrication of systemic racism. It is so contrary to ordinary experience and common intuition that it could only thrive in a framework of punishment and reward based on status, power, opportunity, ambition, and fear.
Unlike every social movement in modern history, the woke movement was created by, for, and deep within the media.”
Amazon’s ‘Inclusion Playbook’ is nothing but a ‘woke smokescreen’ to divert attention from how ‘poorly’ it treats its workers
Amazon’s Woke Smokescreen – The new inclusion policy put out by Amazon Studios offers entries on “womxn” and “acquired limb difference.” Meantime, the company’s drivers urinate in bottles.
A few years ago, my friend Dan Ahdoot was auditioning for a sitcom on Fox. And things were looking good; he’d heard from his agent that he made it to the last round. Then, he got a call from one of the creators of the show, a friend of his who was calling to say sorry: Dan wasn’t going to get the part. The reason, he said, was that he wasn’t “diverse.”
Dan is Iranian. He has photos of his parents in Tehran before the revolution and the eyebrows to prove it. (Don’t worry, I asked Dan if I could objectify him.) But Fox apparently didn’t see Iran as “diverse.”
DOD Counter-Extremism Group Expert Warns of Protected Speech Crackdown
An adviser to the Pentagon’s Counter-Extremism Working Group (CEWG) is warning the Biden administration’s efforts to purge the military of “extremists” could violate individual First Amendment rights.
BACKLASH BUILDS: American Olympic Athlete Under Fire for Shunning US Flag During National Anthem
A potential Olympian faced a growing backlash on social media Monday after the athlete turned-her-back on the American flag during the performance of the National Anthem at a track and field competition.
“Why does the Left hate America? Sure, we have our faults, but no nation in the history of the world has liberated more people from captivity, has lifted more out of poverty, has bled more for freedom, or has blessed more w/ abundance. God bless America,” posted Sen. Ted Cruz on Twitter.
Remove her. She doesn’t deserve to represent the USA.
The Systemic Con Behind Wokeism
There are lots of reasons why wokeism spread like wildfire once America lost its collective mind during the pandemic, quarantine, self-induced recession, and rioting of 2020.
Wokeism was never really about racism, sexism, or other isms. For some, it illustrated a psychological pathology of projection: transferring one’s own prejudices onto others in order to alleviate or mask them.
