Joseph Manson retired from his tenured position in UCLA's anthropology department because of the 'Woke takeover of higher education,' he wrote in a now-viral blog post.
"I’m a professor, retiring at 62 because the Woke takeover of higher education has ruined academic life. ‘Another one?’ you ask. ‘What does this guy have to say that hasn’t already been said by Jordan Peterson, Peter Boghossian, Joshua Katz, or Bo Winegard?’" UCLA professor Joseph H. Manson wrote in a post on July 4.
"Not only was Jeff ostracized, he was unpersoned. None of the faculty talked about him if they could possibly avoid it. Meanwhile, our department chair opened most faculty meetings by solemnly intoning that our department was a community, a family, and that ‘we’re here for each other,’" Manson wrote.
"As Doris Day sang, the future’s not ours to see, but it’s a good bet that the grip of Woke orthodoxy on the, and most other U.S. universities, will tighten in the years to come. The younger faculty tend to be more Woke than their elders," he wrote. "I strongly suspect that mainstream U.S. higher education is morally and intellectually corrupt, beyond the possibility of self-repair, and therefore no longer a worthwhile setting in which to spend my time and effort," he warned.Manson’s blog post has gotten considerable attention on social media and from fellow scholars since it was published.
