    I studied English Language and Literature at the OU and I had to drop out after my 2nd year because it was disgusting. Every subject had to do with gender ideology, critical race theory, feminism, class struggle., They literally had lectures marxist lecturers critisising capitalism and extolling communism. They would have non-binary poets as examples of the different genres and refer to them as 'they'. The digs at Western culture were constant, from derating the virgin Mary and make a femminist symbol to defend Islam on gender issues. The worst part is that I learnt very litttle about English or Literature and had to folk out a lot of money.

    As an OU undergraduate I applaud her! I am studying philosophy and have certainly noticed the curriculum guides you to thinking in a certain way when it comes to political issues but gives you much more free space to think when writing about non-political philosophy. Wokeism and it’s ‘academic’manifestation of critical theory, is in my view, pushed by people in very powerful places and with a lot of influence to destabilise society. The end goal? Who knows? Possibly the destruction of the nation state and the establishment of a global government eventually after enough engineered crises.

I was then told I could I could pick another degree but, only from the same restricted prospectus given to rapists and murderers serving life sentences. (So much for reeducation and rehabilitation).
