Meghan Markle to launch ‘liberal manifesto’ on Oprah: Duchess wants big ‘political career’

Their 90-minute special with Oprah Winfrey, due to air on CBS on March 7, will feature “charming footage of Archie filmed at the family home”, says a source on the channel. The probing interview, which is said to include revealing details of the final chapter of Megxit – which saw the announcement on Friday that couple quit their royal roles entirely and have been stripped of all patronages – provides an “ideal platform for her manifesto,” according to royal author Margaret Holder.

U. Kansas Cutting Humanities Department, As Wokeness Destroys Academia From Within

Humanities departments at multiple schools have seen reductions in recent years. At some schools, the departments have been completely cut.

That’s what seems to be unfolding at the University of Kansas today.

Peak Woke meets the education bubble meets the real world.

What Really Happened At Strathcona High School

There is an epidemic of anti-white racism and anti-free speech censorship at many high schools across Canada. If you don’t believe that, then it’s worth looking into what happened at Strathcona high school, Edmonton, when students voiced that exact sentiment: emails to parents, a witch hunt orchestrated by the administration and school board, official condemnations from school authorities, a police report filed by the principal, libelous accusations by the media, and much more.

Wisconsin’s Capital City Is Trying To Ban White People From Police Oversight Board

When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. took to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 to deliver his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, he offered Americans, of all races, a compelling vision of a society no longer prejudiced by race. He envisioned a country where citizens are judged “by the content of their character” and not “the color of their skin.”

But to listen to today’s most prominent “antiracists,” King’s dream is what stands in the way of racial justice in 21st-century America. The result is the return of legal racial discrimination.

The Problems of the Left-Rich Woke Alliance

In lots of places, people feel like second-class citizens in their own country. The defining characteristic of many Third-World societies and all totalitarianisms is that a tiny elite, whether called the party members or oligarchs who call the shots. Generally speaking, only the democratic West was the exception to this rule. The U.S. long avoided the aristocrat/peasant split through growth in middle- and lower-class income. But beginning with Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama, depending on what economist you believe, this income growth stopped and trends started splitting America into two halves.

UK Universities face fines as part of ‘twin assault’ on cancel culture

Ministers will fine universities which stifle freedom of speech and tell heritage groups “public funds must never be used for political purposes” in a major new bid to torpedo efforts at rewriting Britain’s history, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose.

Gavin Williamson, the Education secretary, will announce this week that a ‘Free Speech Champion’ will be given powers to defend free speech and academic freedom on campuses.

Colleges or student bodies that try to cancel, dismiss or demote people over their views will be sanctioned in a major Government escalation on the ‘war on woke’.

Separately, Culture secretary Oliver Dowden has summoned 25 of the UK’s biggest heritage bodies and charities to a summit next week where they will be told “to defend our culture and history from the noisy minority of activists constantly trying to do Britain down”.

Why Ibram X Kendi won’t be cancelled – He’s accused of making ‘transphobic’ comments but woke enough to survive the scandal.

On 25 January, Dr Ibram X Kendi, author of How To Be An Antiracist, took part in a conversation with the New York State Association of Independent Schools on the topic of ‘How To Be An Antiracist School’. I am only aware that the eSeminar took place because an ‘EXCLUSIVE CLIP’ allegedly from it was shared on Twitter.

In the clip Kendi speaks for less than a minute and recounts for those in attendance via Zoom how ‘I think it was last week my daughter came home and said she wanted to be a boy.

We can’t let wokeness conquer the Church – Many in the clergy now prefer critical race theory to Christianity.

Captain Sir Tom Moore is a national hero. Not only for serving our nation in the Second World War, but also for his courageous efforts to raise over £30million for the NHS in the run-up to his 100th birthday, during the first lockdown. It should come as no surprise, then, that when a contrarian clerk in Holy Orders dismissed Moore’s efforts, it would cause a bit of a ruckus. In fact, the more cynical among us might even say that was the point. Insulting the memory of a national treasure before the release of your new book is certainly one way of raising your profile.

Students fed up with woke culture at universities launch free-speech group to embrace wide-ranging opinions amid fears debate is being stifled

Students are launching a nationwide project to champion free speech in universities over fears that debate is being stifled in favour of woke culture.

It aims to address a free-speech crisis on campuses and encourage the young to embrace wide-ranging opinions without the fear of saying the ‘wrong’ thing.

The news comes after a survey found more than a quarter of students censored their own views on politics or ethical matters, and 40 per cent believed their careers would be harmed if they expressed their true thoughts.

The ‘Woke’ Purge Has Begun

Cancel culture doesn’t exist, they say. And yet with the flick of a switch, billionaire capitalists voted for by precisely nobody have just silenced a man who is still the democratically elected president of the United States. With the push of a button in their vast temples to technology, the new capitalist oligarchs of Silicon Valley have prevented a man who won the second largest vote in the history of the American republic just two months ago — 74million votes — from engaging with his supporters (and critics) in the new public square of the internet age.
