I thank the writer for his heartfelt, sincere, letter of resignation. Unfortunately, it is just that kind of reasoned honesty that has no place in the Woke world. I’m sure the recipient is having a good laugh at this poor prof’s well-meaning naïveté. How humiliating!

This is not a war that will be won by reasoned argument, but by fighting fire with fire. Until the enlightened are willing to fight the fascists at the voting booth and the HR dept (and I don’t see a lot of evidence of that here) the Woke nihilists will continue to do what has been working for them so well. The cavalry is assuredly NOT coming—the good guys are going to have to do it themselves
Good points by Gordon Freeman. This culture is not evolving from a rational/well-reasoned debate. Nor is the battle for sanity a "one approach" battle, but one which needs fighting on multiple fronts. It includes who you vote for, but also where you direct your resources, where your kids go to school and which teachers you refuse to tutor your own.
One can recognize woke values are often irrational and bigoted. And get cancelled for it.
But there are places which one can avoid this sort of silliness and succeed in life. So battle on, and don't subsidize the other side. They need these subsidies because otherwise, they'll be the ones who'll graduate with degrees in gender studies -- and wonder why they are always in debt while spending their life asking people "would you like fries with that?"
I have to strongly disagree with your belief that voting will make any difference, but that's for another post. Here's the calvary: 1) Create alternatives - the opportunities are staring us in the face. My bet is that smart people are already developing alternatives and there is already venture capital behind them and 2) It may be a long game , but the woke universities will devolve to mediocrity. As more and more parents (and kids) realize this, the cream will rise to the top (i.e., will gravitate to the non-woke universities and there are more of those than most people realize).
Google "non-woke universities" and you will get quite a few. Off the top of my head, I would say Chapman (Orange County CA) and Valparaiso University (Valparaiso, IN). Bot very good schools.
Yes, both great schools and neither made the list on criticalrace.org. Chapman is pretty expensive though---had a niece graduate from there. Valpo is a terrific school.
Yes, create alternatives. People will gravitate to the good ones. Universities, having abdicated their responsibility to instill the ability to question and think in their students, have lost their monopoly on “higher learning”. They just don’t realize it yet.

I love this sentiment and hope I'm alive to see the flip.
anybody have a short list of non-woke universities?
Hillman College. That's pretty short.

both
criticalrace.org has a list of those that are so you could deduce those that aren't....by state.

Yes. It is looking like not only a few stalwart colleges remain. Even corporations now have political officers to enforce this insanity.
