Students in the fall 2020 course “Language to Be Looked At” examined modernist and avant-garde experiments in word and image, including engaging with Princeton University Library (PUL) s Special Collections.

After the course ended, PUL acquired all the recommendations that were available for purchase in support of its goal to expand collections to reflect historically underrepresented groups.

Woke Rule No. 1: Thou shalt not question woke ideology, or point out any inconsistency or ulterior motive.
Once again, the totalitarian underbelly of the woke mob has reared its ugly head, this time against Princeton Professor Robert George for daring to post a basic poll question via social media. The good professor simply posted the following survey question: âBy listing or stating their âpreferred pronounsâ people are making sure that others know their: sex, gender, [or] ideology.â The (correct) answer that garnered the highest number of votes was âideology.â
But daring to expose the motivation behind nonsensical âpreferred pronounâ demands has resulted in Professor George being blasted as âtransphobic,â with a woke social media mob calling for his head.
