It’s part of the Washington Post’s job to supply readers with talking points they can use to deride conservative themes and movements that have taken hold and threaten the left. For example, here’s the Post’s standard description of Critical Race Theory: “A somewhat dense academic theory that is rarely, if ever, a formal part of elementary or high school curriculums but is now part of political positioning.” The quotation is from a column by the Post’s Dan Balz, but might well have been cut-and-pasted from any of a dozen prior Post articles.

The talking point is misleading to the point of dishonesty, but that’s a subject for another time. Today, I want to address the Post’s talking points on “wokeism.”

They appear is this article. Like the CRT talking point, they are quite misleading.
