When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way. My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear but in a commitment to reason and fairness. My loyalty was to the truth, not to political tribes. Maintaining my integrity cost me greatly, but I believed it was worth it.

    This is where it gets me. What is Critical Race Theory?

    You mean History?

    unlawful and divisive DEI mandates

    You mean like when they replaced hundreds of government jobs with mediocre white guys who don’t even have a degree/experience? How they put the WIFE of a business owner in charge of the Department of Education?

    Every supposed “DEI hire” has the education to back it up.
