Want to know why Universities are woke?

It's because they've been hijacked by "Activist Scholars" who use them to spread woke ideology.

These political activists are using universities as vehicles to indoctrinate students into far left ideology

Here are the receipts:🧵 Image

Let's get something clear first.

The problem is NOT merely that some professors have blind-spots that can be corrected by other professors with different views. That's not what I am talking about here....

Activists Scholars are an entirely different problem.
3/
It used to be that University professors would try to teach about ideas as evenhandedly as is possible. Of course everyone has biases, but the idea was that professors would at least TRY to put their biases aside and teach the material in a balanced, fair, evenhanded way...
4/
This is no longer the case.

"Activist Scholars" think education is ALWAYS political. because we choose what to teach children, and in doing so we are teaching certain values, and that's political.

So, they think choosing to teach kids that 2+2=4 is a political act.

so...

Because the Scholar activists see their job as a political, in accordance with woke politics they use university classrooms to indoctrinate students into their politics

This Paper by Kia M. Q. Hall is about activities for training Black Lives Matter activists in the… https://t.co/mtqBssF76etwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

You see, the Scholar Activist does not even attempt to teach from neutral ground. They have an ideology, and use their classroom to train students to become activists on behalf of that ideology.

Here Deborah Lowry suggests a way to teach that "supports student-activists":

And this is where we can see this leading to rot in the Universities.

Because the goal of "Scholar Activists" is to spread their political ideology, not to find truth, they end up adopting bad academic methods because those methods help them with their political goals.
8/
They explicitly state that they don't want theories that lead to truth, they want theories that help them gain political power. Here, Kelly Oliver says explicitly that feminist theories do NOT have to be true...they have to be STRATEGIC, because the goal is power, not truth. Image
9/
This is not just one paper that says this either. I could bring receipts all day.

IE: Joan Scott tells us that they seek a theory that will be relevant for political practice, and transgender Sociologist Raewyn Connell seeks a theory of Gender that takes politics into account

Centene is a $155 Billion Dollar Healthcare corporation. They specialize in administering government healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

Centene runs their entire business using DEI, ESG, and "sustainability" frameworks created by progressive activists

A thread🧵 Image
2/
Centene uses and ESG framework to run their entire business. ESG is a framework that makes it easier for companies to get capital (loans, credit, etc) if they have policies that align with the "Environments, Social, and Governance" priorities of the ESG score creators. Image
3/
The creators of ESG are all-in on Climate Change and DEI, and accordingly the ESG framework that Centene uses reflects those priorities.

Because of how ESG works, If Centene doesn't do all of this, they will get a low ESG score and have a harder time getting access to capital Image

Conspiracy theories are the rights' version of Critical Theory

Critical Theory says hidden/unnoticed systemic forces (discourse, capitalism, racism, etc) control people - Conspiracy theorists say hidden/unnoticed cabals of powerful people control people

It's the same structure
In both cases there is some hidden or unnoticed thing that is controlling people in ways they don't realize, and is operating against the interests of the people being controlled.

And in both cases the solution is to "wake up" and learn to see the forces that are controlling you
Both critical theory and conspiracy theories use a large dose of "connect the dots" sort of reasoning to make their case, and they both invoke a very high degree of cynicism towards mainstream explanations that don't appeal to hidden forces ("That's what they want you to think!")

UnitedHealth Group is a *$379.5 BILLION dollar* healthcare corporation that's gone completely woke:

-Sex Change surgeries for minors
-Hormone Therapies for teens
-DEI programs and training
-Employee groups segregated by race

Let me show you how deep the rot goes

A Thread🧵Image
Image
Image
2/
Let's begin with sex change surgeries for teenagers.

UnitedHealthcare's Gender Dysphoria Treatment Policy allows Sex Change Surgeries up to a year before a person turns 18, if the person has 1 year of hormone therapy.

That means starting hormones at 16 and surgery at 17 Image
Image
3/
It gets worse.

UnitedHealthcare has different Medical Policies for different states. In states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the medical policy has *NO* explicit minimum age requirement for sex change surgery.

I repeat: *NO* explicit age limit for sex-change surgery. Image

Trinity Health is a $20 BILLION dollar healthcare company with a DEI program which tells employees that society is systemically racist and racism is a "public health crisis"

They might be the most woke healthcare provider in America. Lets see how deep the rot goes

A Thread🧵 Image
Image
Image
2/
Trinity Health is a HUGE not-for-profit corporation.

They have $23.9 BILLION dollars in revenue each year, and they have gone all in on "Critical Social Justice" (AKA: woke), as evidenced by the fact they implemented DEI across the entire company, including all services Image
Image
3/
Trinity Health is also going all-in on "Health Equity."

In Critical Social Justice/woke "equity" means "Adjusting shares so citizen A is equal to Citizen B." This means that they are going to try to "fix" social inequality by giving resources to groups seen as oppressed. Image

Head Start is a $12 BILLION dollar early childhood education program that's been hijacked by activists who use it to indoctrinate kids.

Head Start says *babies* and 4 year-olds are racist, implements DEI, and has "Challenging conversations about race" with Kids.

A Thread🧵 Image
Image
2/
The Head Start program thinks that education is systemically racist, and believes that this systemic racism causes non-whites to become sick because systemic racism is a "social determinate of health for children" Image
3/
The program also asks teachers and administrators to implement the program through a lens of racial equity.

Equity is not *EQUALITY*

Equity is about equality of outcomes, not opportunity. In practice it takes resources from one racial group and gives them to other groups. Image

The medical system has been hijacked by woke activists who use its resources to pursue a political agenda while ignoring evidence, and making treatment decisions based on the "Gender Unicorn"

Let me show you how deep the rot goes.

A Thread🧵 Image
2/
Universal Health Services is one of the largest health care providers in the U.S.

They made DEI a central component of UHS, and they "invest in hiring people from certain targeted groups" which just means hiring people based on race or gender identity to meet unstated quotas Image
Image
Image
3/
Two of the major hospitals in the UHS network have also implemented DEI training and hiring practices geared towards "education on diversity, equity and inclusion" and "disseminating DEI information to all staff."

This is using medical resources to political/ideological ends Image
