Bari, you do an outstanding job of articulating DEI/Woke propaganda movement. As a conservative, I have never felt that what started out as “political correctness” was a good thing. Now that you have exposed the fact that the purveyors of political correctness/DEI/Woke employ a double standard, it occurs to me that the whole Woke thing has nothing to do with conservative/liberal or left/right but is actually a problem of human decency which is (or certainly should be) non-political.
This is an excellent piece. Please keep up the good work. The Free Press is my most trusted news source.
