The Threat of Wokeism and Critical Race Theory in Universities
Wokeism, rooted in postmodernism, views every principle as a reflection of underlying power structures, leading to a racial version where the US systems are considered white supremacist and perpetuated by a group favoring white power. This theory has translated into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, where equity, different from equality, suggests that any inequality indicates discrimination.
