On April 13th, my team and I traveled to Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Our trip started with us running through the Phoenix airport to catch our connecting flight to Flagstaff—luckily, we made it with one minute to spare before they closed the door!
We partnered with TPUSA NAU for this event and worked with the group's president, Ethan Lew. Ethan reached out to the NAU Young Democrats and they refused to co-sponsor the event because “it is anti-woke which means it is kinda racist and queerphobic.”
This video includes campus interviews, pre- and post-event interviews, and highlights from the evening. This was our first event using a loose version of street epistemology, which we continually improved throughout the tour. In future events, we switched to a Likert Scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree) versus having students choose either "agree" or “disagree,” and we tightened and targeted the questions.
We are processing all the content that we captured along the tour, so stay tuned!
Few things have been more annoying that randomly adding “phobic” in front of words, even though it has makes no sense, since disagreeing doesn’t mean one is scared. Looking forward to the coming “tomatophobic” phase.
Woke is a religion, with dogma, faith and punishment of death for apostasy. We should not be surprised that its adherents don't play well with people of other faiths.
