WTW36: Fighting Back Against the Campus Outrage Machine

Dr. Isaac Kamola joins us to discuss the work he's done to expose the partisan mechanics that fuel websites like CampusReform and The College Fix. How exactly does this machine operate? Who is behind it all? Why is Christopher Rufo the absolute worst?   And, to help professors who experience this targeted harassment, Dr. Kamola founded Faculty First Responders to provide resources and support.   Dr. Kamola's book: Free Speech and Koch Money: Manufacturing a Campus Culture War  The Study: https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/facpub/367/    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.'
