This is a short piece examining both sides of Woke Culture.

“Woke” is sometimes taken as meaning, “being awake to what is going on”. Readers will note the similarity between the words, woke and awake.

But are we really awake to what is going on. Or, are we just accepting, without questioning or critical thinking, what some YouTube videos and some of the media are telling us?

Education.
While I think forcibly determining the type of education that children had to follow, at the very early age of eleven, was wrong; it was a big mistake to solve the problem by dumbing down the entire educational system.

This quest for making everyone equal does not work. We all have different abilities and aspirations. Some children develop later than others.

Two weeks after being released from Colditz in 1945 and returning home to Scotland, Private Alex Ross was summoned to his local post office to take a long-distance telephone call.

He rushed there to discover that on the line was the famed leg-less fighter pilot, Douglas Bader.

Ross, a medical orderly, had been Bader’s batman in the prison camp.

Throughout their shared captivity he had been a much put-upon dogs-body, carrying the wing commander up and down stairs on his back, cooking his meals and washing his stump socks.

Ross assumed his boss must be calling now to express his gratitude. Instead, without any introduction, a gruff voice thundered down the phone: ‘Have you got my legs?’

Ross said no, explaining that the American liberators of Colditz had permitted each man to take away only a single suitcase. There had not been room in his bag for the spare tin legs and he had left them behind.

‘You’re a c**t,’ said Bader, and rang off. They never spoke again.
