"woke is just another term for common courtesy."

Take a look at Woke Mama Jerelyn Luther (the Shrieking Student) shouting into the face of her preceptor at Yale University at 100 decibels. He's white and he's male and he "just doesn't get it." There's nothing remotely "courteous" about this crowd, who act more like characters out of Children of the Corn than Ivy League scholars. Academic campuses have swung way to the left in America, introducing new terms like microaggression, cis-male, intersectionality, "safe spaces,"introducing a stifling climate to the extent that many right-leaning faculty or conservative speakers (Heather MacDonald at Claremont comes to mind, or Peter Boghossian getting dirt clods thrown at him for conducting a survey, or brilliant author Jonathan Haidt getting in trouble at Yale for not giving in to DEI mandates, or the Conservative Activist punched in the face at Berkeley by Greenberg) getting bullied are hiring bodyguards, or resigning. And anyone who doesn't speak the special language, Orwellian Newspeak, is doomed in a climate that encourages minorities to identify as the Oppressed. This is not a movement, it's an intolerant cult that is harmful to learning to the extent that it is distinctly illiberal. I'm Left of Center, or Left-leaning centrist, but this is the tail wagging the dog and some the most intolerant people I have ever witnessed. If this type of behavior is "courtesy" we're in trouble.

You're confusing rudeness and poor manners for something it isn't. WTF happened to common sense? How can anyone see rudeness or ill manners and mistake it for wokeness? Because Faux News or some TV personality says it is? Time to grow, learn and move on. Ill-mannered kids, divisive politicians, and out-of-touch TV personalities don't get to define wokeness.
