Speaking up vs. woke indoctrination works!

Good on the United Federation of Teachers for cancelling that “whiteness workshop” the other day.

Let it be a sign that ordinary New Yorkers can fight back against the march of woke indoctrination.  

The virtual UFT seminar aimed to help resist “the harmful effects of whiteness in our lives,” a for-credit affair in the union’s continuing-education programs (which can help boost teacher pay).  

But the response was swift and merciless once word got around about a class that sought to give “a better understanding of how to center ourselves” in the struggle against “whiteness” — a thoroughly poisonous concept.  

City Councilman Joe Borelli (R-SI) recounted massive outreach by parents and teachers to his office demanding to know why the class had been set up at all.

Social media erupted in outrage.

(Naturally, the psychotherapist who planned to offer the class called it all “hate.”) 

That the UFT let the nonsense get as far as it did confirms our low opinion of its understanding of educational excellence.

But at least it did the right thing when caught out.  

It all proves that parents, students and teachers not on board the woke wagon don’t have to sit back in fear as ravening ideologues dismantle our educational system. 

So the next time you hear about one of these absurd moves to stoke race-hatred by people nominally in charge of educating the next generation, speak up. 

And don’t stop speaking until you win.
