“The student government at Whitworth University denied a Republican group's request to invite Xi Van Fleet, a survivor of Maoist China, to speak on campus, citing her criticism of "woke culture" and her comparisons of the ideology to her experience under communist rule.” ( end quote)

If you ask me, these liberal Christian’s are not Christian’s at all.

You may be right.
It is getting harder and harder to remain an educational institution.

It doesn't matter if you are a "religious" or a secular college/university... unless you teach certain curriculum about diversity, human rights, socialism, and green environment sustainability...
They can stop government subsidies and funding. They can revoke your certification as an approved higher education facility. They can recommend that teachers and professor not teach
there because it's not "fully accredited".

So then, they are caught in the middle. Some universities will go woke no matter what, they relish it. But some others do not, they do it because they "have" to.
So then what do you do? Just give up, close shop and go home?

I look at it like these so called Christian denominations that are going woke and embracing this Lgbtqxyz agenda. We may not be able to stop it, but we can speak out against it. Also people don’t have to attend those denominations, just as they don’t have to attend those schools and colleges that promote this woke agenda.

I think Christian parents are going to have to home school, or send their kids to a private school in order to keep their kids from getting indoctrinated by all this woke ideology.

I think any school that is government funded is going to have this ideology crammed down their throats, regardless.

Is supporting human rights and protecting the environment what being woke means? Live in a country with no human rights or environmental protection for a while and you'd be converted to wokeism pretty quickly.

There was no environmental teaching in the US of most of my life. Human rights, for all practical purposes these days means... "gay, lesbian, transgender inclusion, acceptance of abortion and non binary sexual identity".
I never heard any of these terms until I was in my 40's, and I am a well traveled man.
Question: what percentage of the earth's atmosphere is CO2 ? How long do you people have been using carbon based fuels ( including wood for example ) vs electricity?

The Woke of our present time are so intentionally stupid they do not realize that without Fossil Fuel, most of the World will have no electricity. The only, current solution is to Nuke it, but then they have a major problem of how to dispose of that much Nuclear Waste. The Mind untrained to think critically is in a sad state of failed!

I don’t think most Christians would call sinful behavior a “human right”.
If that were the case then they could also say murder is a human right.

Human rights also secures your freedom. Right to a fair trial, freedom express disagreement with the government, freedom from torture, respect for your privacy, the right to have a family, a right to education. You likely take these for granted because you live in a place where these rights are not questioned.

Only now are they starting to be. We had more freedom before the human rights came along. Disagreement with government results in censorship these days. Privacy? Ha, are you serious?
Education? More likely indoctrination. A right to a family? The government has more rights over children than parents do. They can tell your children what to do, but you can't.

30, 40 years they weren't questioned. Now they are questioned every day.

Fear not; only trust God.
He told you these things were coming; now they have landed, and more...even worse to come.
He never leaves us nor forsakes us; on BELIEVE in HIM; not self, not our rules, or government, or schools, or denomination...only God.
With God, all things are possible.
All praise, glory and honor be unto God. Amen

It seems like I've heard of that school before. Witworth. That is a name, and I know I know it, but I don't know what they're known for. I'm sure that women went through a lot, but at the same time, you have to understand what modernist criticism is, exactly. She wanted to criticize woke culture? Higher criticism in the humanities is after the style of Herman Marcuse, so what that really means is that she wants to give us a talk on completing the program of wokeness. That's a different kind of criticism than what you think it is. Self-criticism is practiced in communist countries and societies at large, it doesn't mean that she's against woke culture, it's considered "reconstructivist" in the parlance, and it means that she wants to make woke culture "better", meaning make it more woke and more widespread.

LIberal ANYTHING is like the Left; a literal cancer on this planet next to Neo-Nazis, BLM, communists, etc.

I take this to mean that your opposition to anyone who is liberal or inclined to the left in their politic is so strong that you would advocate any means of silencing or removing them. Is that what you stand for?

 

[MedicBravo]

I am opposed to anything Evil, per the few but not all examples mentioned above.
If you are for anything of Evil which generally, 99.99% of the time is Left/Liberal "beliefs" then yeah, I'm against it.
God will get rid of that all anyway and there's nothing they can do about it.
Fact: Obama put kids in cages without their family when he was President.
Fact: Transgenders have openly stated, "We are coming for your children." One sick one shot up a school in March killing some staff and children. They ALL lose their sanity and emotions when "misgendered".
BLM? Modern day KKK
