To Get Rid of Woke, Understand How It Got Started

The article by Star Parker, published on Townhall.com, discusses the origins and implications of the "woke" movement in American culture. Parker argues that the woke ideology, which she sees as a form of cultural Marxism, has its roots in the Frankfurt School's critical theory from the 1920s, which aimed to critique and dismantle traditional Western values. She traces its evolution through various social movements, suggesting that it has now permeated institutions like education, media, and corporations, promoting identity politics and a victimhood narrative. Parker criticizes this shift for undermining American values of individualism, merit, and free speech, leading to societal division and a focus on race and gender over character and achievement. She calls for a return to traditional American principles to counteract what she perceives as the destructive effects of woke culture.
