Isn't this exactly the opposite of the current state? That the overwhelming power of Universities in the US is what spreads cultural and political movements? I think you could argue that the entire Woke enterprise is centered on Universities particularly elite ones.
- themitigating 4y agoCan you argue that is the source and/or the majority of the people? Maybe the views of a small number of academics have been amplified by those who have opposite political views and a dedicated audience
- adamsmith143 4y agoNot a Historian but it seems pretty clear that a lot of activism comes directly out of Universities. Berkeley is famous in that regard for example. These movements do tend to ripple across the country.
- JaimeThompson 4y ago> entire Woke enterprise How are you defining "Work enterprise"? Note: Work should be Woke. Error on my part.
- all2 4y agoNo, no, I think GP means "Woke".
- adamsmith143 4y agoIndeed, edited to reflect that.

- jcranmer 4y agoIt is my understanding that the "woke" movement in universities is generally driven by the students and not the faculty. Now I personally never saw any of this shit when I was in college, but from what I've read of various newspaper stories, it seems that almost all of the outrage-du-jour stories generally start with the students complaining about something, not the faculty or administration doing something reprehensible.
