The University of Central Florida (UCF) has taken down statements endorsing “anti-racist” ideology from the websites of several academic departments after the state’s “Stop WOKE Act” came into effect.
The statements were developed and adopted in the wake of the death of George Floyd and subsequent Black Lives Matter riots in the summer of 2020. In those statements, the UCF departments pledged to incorporate the Marxist ideology into their teaching and research, and to challenge established structures and canons allegedly influenced or shaped by “systemic racism” and “white supremacy.”
