For John, BLUF:  The Author, Ms Bari Weiss, knows of what she speaks.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

We Got Here Because of Cowardice. We Get Out With Courage

Here is the sub-headline:

Say no to the Woke Revolution

From Commentary Magazine, by Writer Bari Weiss, November 2021.

Here is the lede plus one:

A lot of people want to convince you that you need a Ph.D. or a law degree or dozens of hours of free time to read dense texts about critical theory to understand the woke movement and its worldview.  You do not.  You simply need to believe your own eyes and ears. Let me offer the briefest overview of the core beliefs of the Woke Revolution, which are abundantly clear to anyone willing to look past the hashtags and the jargon.

And now you need to go to the article.

"Wokeness" is allowing a group of bullies to shut dow the free speech of many other citizens.  It filters a bunch of bad stuff, but also truths,  Truths free men and women, even if in jest, should feel free to speak,  No freedom to speakmeans no free elections, which means no democracy.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
