American students are faking their wokeness, Justin Webb in the Times

[Igneococcus]

I can't see this article by Justin Webb shared anywhere yet.

"A study released this month by the psychologists Forest Romm and Kevin Waldman suggests that a majority of American students are faking their wokeness. More than 1,400 students at two of the top universities in the US — Northwestern and Michigan — were asked whether they ever pretended to hold more progressive views than they truly endorsed to succeed professionally or socially: 88 per cent said they did. More than 80 per cent said they had submitted coursework that misrepresented their views in order to align with professors."

Your response is the exact issue, well done!

Huh?

This was inspired by recent progressive shenanigans in the U.S. DH tells me my sense of humour is too obtuse for anyone else to enjoy it but if anyone will appreciate it I guess here is the place...

I'm a scientist, so I have no idea what is to be expected on a humanities reading list, but this is a well-known political text, so it's not clear to me why its inclusion on a reading list is an issue. Can you explain? I don't seem to be the only one who's a bit puzzled by your comment.

Why can't anyone spell George Eliot? These are indeed dark times.

Oh, it's long gone. I wrote it over 40 years ago.

@Academiccoward I'm trying to do a discreet, private "thanks" for your reply to me, but the website won't play ball.
So, here is my public, thanks for responding! I'm still going to take the past existence of your paper as evidence that I'm not just dim.
