Why the war on wokeism is misdirected and misunderstood
In the mudslinging barrage of the culture wars, ‘woke’ has become increasingly difficult to define. It was originally conceived as a signifier for those who were aware of (or ‘awake to’) systematic racial and sexual discrimination. Recently, it’s become a buzzword used to mock those who believe in these systematic injustices. Rather than uncritically dismissing the issues, Christians would do well to learn how to distinguish between a theory and a worldview.
