At Grove City College (GCC) in Pennsylvania, hundreds of students, alumni, and parents signed a petition calling for leadership change due to the university’s perpetuation of woke education and Critical Race Theory (CRT) on campus.

“Over the last several years, many of us began to note worrisome signs of mission drift and critical race theory (CRT) encroachment within the College,” the petition states. “We made our concerns known privately to faculty and administrators at the school, but our concerns were met with lip service at best and, in most cases, silence.”

This is the second petition targeting wokeness and CRT at Grove City College. In November of 2021, a public petition with similar aims was launched, called “Save GCC from CRT.”

This prompted action from the university’s Board of Trustees—who issued a report on Apr. 13, acknowledging the existence of CRT on campus and its “incompatab[iliy]” with the mission of GCC.
