“It takes professors to come up with some of the dumbest ideas,” says Gad Saad, a Lebanese-Canadian professor of marketing at Concordia University and author of “The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense.” “The fact that you are educated doesn’t mean you have properly administered the mind vaccine against all these idea…
Leftist-Turned-Conservative Podcasters Unapologetically Question Pervading Progressive Ideologies
As the religion of “wokism” continues to grow, censor, and demand sacrifices in the form of shame-induced public apologies at its alter, former leftist-turned-conservative podcasters seek to unapologetically question its pervading narratives. “We are seeing young people grow up with the mindset that they need to reduce themselves down to race, gender, and their sexuality,”…
The New Religion of Wokeism
Commentary Have Americans truly turned away from religion? Or have they merely found a new faith? A 2016 poll by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) found that 25 percent of all Americans described their religion as “none.” That description was particularly prominent among elite urban, affluent, credentialed, professional, and young Americans. Do those respondents…
Regulatory Bodies Should Monitor Professional Standards, Not Ideology
Commentary The Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) serves as the regulatory body for public school teachers in Ontario.

Canadian Novelist Explores Our Western ‘Identity Crisis’
Commentary Novels can move hearts and change minds in ways that cannot always be achieved by exposure to academic analysis. Late last century, the distinguished American jurist Robert H. Bork published a book titled, “Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline.” For conservatives in the Reagan and Harper eras, Bork’s book was a blockbuster;…
How Wokeism and CRT Became Socialist Religion: Pastor
Wokeism has taken the form of religion that has adopted various beliefs mixed with Marxism and critical race theory (CRT), said pastor Lucas Miles. Critical race theory, an offshoot of a neo-Marxist branch of thought, was influenced by liberation theology and black liberation theology, he explained.

Dennis Prager: Children Are Being Sacrificed on the Altar of Safety
“Sweden sent all their kids to school for two years; not one kid died. But it was irrelevant to Americans who, like sheep, ruined their child’s lives. That is how bad totalitarianism is: people will sacrifice their children to the state. Child sacrifice did not end in ancient Canaan.” A type of extreme secularism has…
