Very on target! I've seen this again and again, including in churches.

Goalposts have been moved. What you label/libel as "reactionary Right" is nowadays a collection of things we once (not long ago!) considered normal.

E.g.: Parents wanting to have a say in how their children are raised, elementary school libraries free of porn, asserting that there are two genders (without mistreating the outliers), expecting newcomers to learn English, etc etc

I believe you responded to the wrong comment. I’m pretty sure that you meant to respond to Greg Schumacher, not Mark Marshall.

Indeed, you are correct. I'm clumsy on computers. My apologies.

No apology necessary. I assumed that was the case.

I bought Counter Wokecraft. It is a good book. I had it at work for a while and read it at my desk. 🙂

James, while your focus in this piece is on the woke infiltrating, the process you lay out applies more generally to any group wanting to seize power in an organization. The reactionary Right operates the same way. The art for leaders is to allow entry and a voice, but to structure and guide the organization to facilitate consensus, 80% agreement outcomes.

This sounds exactly like the strategy of Islam in Western Europe.
