  • Coincident with Donald Trump's electoral victory, increasing numbers of America's corporations are backing off their DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) programs.

The article by Star Parker, published on November 28, 2024, in Arkansas Online, discusses the pervasive influence of "woke" ideology in American society and suggests that understanding its roots is crucial to countering it. Parker argues that woke culture, which she sees as promoting division and victimhood, stems from a misinterpretation of civil rights movements and has been exacerbated by modern political and educational systems. She critiques the shift from traditional American values of individual responsibility and merit to a focus on systemic oppression and identity politics. Parker advocates for a return to core principles like personal accountability, free markets, and limited government to dismantle what she perceives as the destructive aspects of woke ideology. She emphasizes the need for education reform, promoting school choice, and fostering a culture that values hard work and personal achievement over grievance and entitlement.
