‘Enough With the Woke Shit’

I do annual training for a bunch of companies and every once in a while they’ll ask me to include the Harassment training with the safety topics.

Every state has added an anti-harassment law. New York State passed the law about 7 years ago.

The topic has always been poorly accepted in the construction field where busting chops is an every day occurrence.

Yet it’s about more than busting on a co-worker. Regardless, construction folks had already decided that it was ‘garbage.’

It’s all garbage unless it happens directly to them, I guess.

I have always been able to get through the subject matter and get the point of the law across.

Yesterday, I brought up the topic and someone said:

“January 20th can’t get here fast enough so we can get through with the ‘woke’ shit.”

I just sighed.

What else is there to do?

Major corporations are pulling back on diversity programs.

Those who fought hard for rights to simply live a life are deathly afraid that those rights will be taken away.

And they may lose their way of life.

Gays, women, anti-freaking harassment…

…it’s all been such a burden on others, I guess.

But I’m in charge in the classroom.

“What’s ‘woke’ mean?” I asked the guy who said it.

“We gotta’ get back to Christian values,” he said. “Enough of the hurt feeling crap.”

“So being Christian means ignoring people who feel attacked at work?”

“January 20th,” he said. “We get our freedom back.”

Should be wonderful.
