"President Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO – which supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November," White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said."
I have come to think of UNESCO with regard to their World Heritage sites (I saw in the news that Neuschwanstein was just recently added), but one of my favorite science books when I was growing up I found was compiled by UNESCO, "700 Science Experiments For Everyone" [1]. I loved the way it showed you how to set up a modest "lab" with inexpensive (or found) things. Perhaps they were considering poorer communities/nations.

- aarestad 1y ago"woke" deployed as a noun really rankles me. But then, I guess that's the point eh - own those snowflakes, nothing matters, lol.
- ceejayoz 1y ago"woke, divisive cultural and social causes" is using it as an adjective. Causes is the noun.
- FireBeyond 1y agoThe Right commonly uses wokeness as a noun.
- ceejayoz 1y agoI don't disagree, but this isn't one of those cases.
