Woke Tide May Be Turning

By Hugo Gurdon: Instead of the harmless cloud of feel-good fluff that the anodyne DEI name seemed to promise, corporations and universities found they’d imported an ideological tyranny. Now, a few institutions are trickling toward the practical policy of avoiding politics and getting on with the jobs for which they exist. The trickle will, one hopes, become a flood.

RIP Boy Scouts

Scouting America, like all other organizations dedicated to progressive values, offers no compelling reason to join or maintain it.

After Membership Plunges, Woke “Boy Scouts” Change Their Name

In the 1980s, there were over 4 million enrolled scouts. Today the woke organization “serves just over 1 million young people, including more than 176,000 girls and teens.” Since the Boy Scouts dropped the whole gender thing, they’re also dropping the ‘boy’ part of the name to become ‘Scouting America’. That sounds like a vacation organization, not a program to develop skills and leadership in boys.
