They say being woke means: \u201crealizing the problems in your life are not your fault; finding your identity not in objective reality, but in your feelings; worshipping the planet because humanity is evil; rejecting organized religion and mindlessly following the Left; finding racism, sexism and hatred in everything; changing your (social media) profile picture to match the current fad; brainwashing your kids to hate life and be miserable; rioting; never, ever being satisfied and having h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>iness, but instead constantly complaining about everything; becoming an absolutely horrible person to be around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just the outline.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the media fixation on our divisions and corporations that shamelessly bow their knees to a tiny woke minority, the education system (which the Bee refers to as indoctrination) is responsible for promoting wokeness to the young.<\/p>\n<p>The Bee writers take this on as follows: \u201cStarting in pre-school your goal is to turn kids against their parents. Start by asking them simple questions, like \u2018Why are your parents so white and dumb?\u2019 Or \u2018Did you know your turtle sandbox is sitting on land your Dad stole from indigenous people?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Or this about sex, a subject once thought to be the exclusive purview of parents: \u201cGender \u2014Confuse them from kindergarten \u2014 it\u2019s important for your students to see sex as central to their identities and personalities.\u201d Such an approach, they write, turns a \u201cwell-adjusted boy\u201d into an \u201cenraged man ready to dismantle capitalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In all satire there are elements of truth, which is what makes it funny, at least to those not being skewered. In this case that would be the woke crowd and those who wish to be woke so they can be accepted by the spirits of the age. The Bee says to become fully woke requires constant apologizing for one\u2019s whiteness and even your humanity because you are a racist \u2014 don\u2019t deny it \u2014 and are guilty of destroying the planet by your very existence.<\/p>\n<p>Get the book, and after reading it and laughing yourself silly, give it to a liberal friend, take pictures of (use their preferred pronoun) facial expressions as they read it, and post them on social media. Include a flag and an \u201cI love America\u201d sticker to enhance their rage. And then run.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cal\u00a0Thomas\u2019 latest book is \u201cAmerica\u2019s Expiration Date: The Fall of Empires and Superpowers and the Future of the United States\u201d (HarperCollins\/Zondervan).<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
