@CortneySaraniti [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [04]: @teach_n_travel “Flanagan said this week during an interview ‘numerous good reports’ about residential schools were being discounted due to ‘wokeism.’”
Why are #Conservatives are getting away with saying that to be #woke is a BAD thing?

#AdvocacyCABroadbentInstitutePressProgressMitchellThompson "In the interview, Flanagan acknowledged residential schools 'had drawbacks,' but he also echoed statements he has made previously defending the utility of residential schools as a 'pragmatic response to the realities of trying to educate a widely-distributed population':
'I haven't heard anyone say what would be a practical alternative to Residential Schools. Would you say no school at all? If we hadn't set up any schools Canada would be condemned today for leaving this population in ignorance.'
Regarding the indisputable evidence of sexual and physical abuse at residential schools, Flanagan suggested the news has not taken a balanced approach - something he blames on 'wokeism.'
'I think any honest approach would try to draw the balance,' Flanagan told True North. 'What has happened is people with strong ideological convictions, what today is often called 'wokeism', have taken the bad reports and woven them into their narrative while discounting the numerous good reports.'
Flanagan elaborated on his thoughts:
'The historical record is mixed as it is for all human institutions. You know, if I can draw a comparison for a second, if you look at the literature surrounding boarding schools in England at the time which were used for the children of elite parents, many students love their schools. Others report horrifying reports of physical and sexual abuse at these schools. So, for residential schools in Canada, you'll also find a mixed set of reports. '
In a statement to PressProgress, Flanagan said he 'absolutely' stands behind his statement that news reports about the discovery of unmarked graves at residential schools is 'fake news.'
Asked whether he disputes the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's findings that children died as a result of abuse in residential schools, Flanagan said: 'I dispute this as a generalization.'" https://pressprogress.ca/fraser-institute-fellow-tom-flanagan-news-stories-about-residential-school-graves-are-fake-news/

@ShawnKukreja [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Earlier I have only seen tbe RWs who were using the #woke to denote ‘Woke liberals’, ‘Woke feminists’ e.t.c. Now, people from progressive circles are also increasingly using it neglecting the history and politics of langauge. [URL redacted]
#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianSteveRose "Like 'politically correct' before it, the word 'woke' has come to connote the opposite of what it means. Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary's definition, woke means 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)', but today we are more likely to see it being used as a stick with which to beat people who aspire to such values, often wielded by those who don't recognise how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact ... as [Laurence] Fox and others [e.g. Toby Young] have shown, it is as much to do with the issues of racial and social justice. Criticising 'woke culture' has become a way of claiming victim status for yourself rather than acknowledging that more deserving others hold that status. It has gone from a virtue signal to a dog whistle. The language has been successfully co-opted - but as long as the underlying injustices remain, new words will emerge to describe them." (Steve Rose, 21 January 2020, The Guardian) https://www.theguardian.com/society/shortcuts/2020/jan/21/how-the-word-woke-was-weaponised-by-the-right

Supplementary #MagazineNZTheSpinoffAliceNeville [Wikipedia] "The term political correctness as we know it emerged in the mid-80s - this Aussie social work lecturer at Victoria University was an early adopter - but didn't enter the mainstream consciousness in New Zealand until the 90s, ascending slowly but surely until it was absolutely everywhere by the turn of the millennium. With Helen Clark's government securing a second term in 2002, the war against PC hit its stride: National's shadow education minister Nick Smith was railing against the 'political correctness gone mad' of kapa haka being recognised in the NCEA, and for the next few years 'PC gone mad' went a bit, well, mad. According to Hansard, there were 250 mentions of 'politically correct', 139 mentions of 'political correctness' and 82 for 'PC' during parliamentary debates in the 2002-2005 term, which is as far back as online Hansard goes. (It's possible, I concede, that some of those 82 PCs were referencing the family computer.) 'Politically correct nonsense' was a phrase uttered 18 times and 'PC nonsense' 19 times during those three years, mainly, it would seem, by Nick Smith (social workers being required to learn about the Treaty, councils consulting with iwi, kava ceremonies for public servants, resource management reform and changes to the law around guardianship arrangements for kids were just a handful of his targets)." https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/19-05-2025/how-wokeism-cancelled-political-correctness #MetaphorPeriodization1980s #ToponymOceaniaAustralia #EDUNZVictoriaUniversityOfWellington #ToponymOceaniaNewZealand #OrgClassifPPNZNewZealandLabourPartyHelenClark #2002_ #OrgClassifPPNZNewZealandNationalPartyNickSmith #1840_TeTiritiOWaitangi [Wikipedia] #IdentityFirstNationsMaoriKinshipWhakapapa [Wikipedia] #IdentityFirstNationsMaoriIwi [Wikipedia] #OrgNZGovNZQANewZealandQualificationsAuthorityManaTohuMataurangaOAotearoa [Wikipedia] #OrgNZGovNZQANationalCertificateOfEducationalAchievementNCEA [Wikipedia] #OrgUKGovHansard
