WTW34: When CampusReform Attacks

In 2017, political science professor Dr. Albert Ponce was targeted by right-wing media because of a lecture he gave at Diablo Valley College regarding white supremacy in America. Lydia walks us through what actually happened before, during, and after the motivating incident. The people responsible for this panic were totally cool and not at all white supremacist monsters.   You can watch Dr. Ponce's lecture in full here! Be sure to tune in for our next installment of this mini-series.   Feel free to email us at lydia@seriouspod.com or thomas@seriouspod.com!

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'
