    What’s Driving Media Becoming Woke? Money.

    Years before Donald Trump became president, legacy media was already moving in a woke direction. While no doubt some reporters are ideological, the trend was influenced by the growing prominence of the internet.

    Woke Mob Comes for Professor Who Opposes Left-Wing Social Values

    If you don’t agree with the politically correct narrative, you must be destroyed. That’s the attitude elite Western institutions increasingly take with anyone who disagrees with the ever-moving and increasingly radical cultural left.

    Scientists Take a Stand Against ‘Woke Math’

    Saying two plus two equals four may now be problematic. One of the key aspects of the left-wing cultural revolution that’s taken over America’s most powerful institutions is how it injects its politics and ideology into literally everything. That includes science, and now math. Many states and school districts are embracing “woke math” for K-12…

    How ‘Science’ Went Woke

    “Believe in science.” You’ve probably seen that common—and silly—trope on left-wing political lawn signs. But what does it mean? Science is a method, a tool, but those lawn signs seem to be calling for something else.  The statement instead most likely signifies that one believes in the politically compromised science of institutions promoting ideological outcomes….

    Businesses Are Going Woke. Here’s What a Thoughtful Investor Needs to Consider.

    More and more, it seems big corporations and even banks have become tools of the left.

    Economic Freedom Is the Path to Healthy Environments, Social Progress, and Good Governance—Not Woke Corporatism

    The left is trying to refashion how policymakers and private-sector leaders understand their roles by insisting that their actions must have an “environmental, social, and governance” focus. This agenda is frequently abbreviated to “ESG”—a buzzword that is now being heavily circulated online and in D.C. It’s also completely misguided. The environmental, social, and governance agenda…
