Behind the Bastards

CHAPTER

Wokewashing Governance

This chapter examines the recent governmental shift aimed at banning certain terms from federal communications, particularly within scientific research, in line with anti-'wokeness' initiatives. It critiques the implications of these changes on free speech, diversity, and the integrity of scientific inquiry, while drawing historical parallels to segregationist tactics. Additionally, the conversation highlights the socio-political ramifications of these transformations in military and educational contexts, raising concerns about their broader impact on American identity and historical narratives.
