Why Do We Need Those ‘Red’ States?

So, yesterday, The (failing) New York Times ran a very lengthy and detailed article on how a cabal of right-wing groups and monied individuals are trying to organize a national campaign to cleanse college campuses of the noxious ideology of liberalism, in particular programs and courses which promote D.E. I., other wise known as diversity, equity and inclusion, also referred to as ‘Woke.’

The intellectual hotbed for this initiative is an outfit in California, the Claremont Institute, which underwrites all kinds of alt-right publications designed to create a counterweight to the liberal culture which permeates universities, media and everywhere else which tries to strip American society away from its basic commitment to limited government and the principles on which the country was allegedly founded.

Yet for all the talk by these assholes about how they are making a national effort to restore America to its traditional values, the only states where this strategy seems to be working are in — where else? — some of the old Confederate states. Laws banning or limiting D.E.I. content in educational environments have been passed in Florida and Texas, fat-ass Sarah Huckabee Sanders has issued am executive order in Arkansas along the same lines, one or two other Southern states will probably promulgate some anti-Woke or anti-D.E.I. provisions as well.
