Commentary
Woke supremacy has been taking a toll on Western civilization. The casualties of wokeness are too many and sundry to track. But we shouldn’t forget that wokeness was first germinated in higher education, from whence it metastasized to the wider social body. The academy is the cathedral pulpit from which the ideological dictates of the elite flow downward to the hoi polloi.
