Summary

New College of Florida has reinstated a controversial course on “wokeness,” led by British media personality Andrew Doyle, amid criticism over its one-sided portrayal of “wokeness” as a cult.

The course’s reading list includes Doyle’s own books and works by rightwing figures like Christopher Rufo, who has claimed that antiracist government policies would bring about “an end to the constitutional order.”

The college, under Governor Ron DeSantis’s influence, is undergoing a conservative transformation that has sparked backlash from students and staff, who report discomfort with the new administration’s ideological agenda.

The course’s reinstatement reflects the college’s shift toward rightwing educational reforms.

    “British media personality”. Until 5 seconds ago, I had forgotten the pointless prick existed.

      I had to look him up. Seemingly,he’s a cheap ham mannequin in a bad suit, and using the word “personality” in connection with him is really stretching it past the point of credibility
