So this was the latest NYT OpEd piece that attracted my attention this morning, at 4:30am when I got up to work on a report deadline and I wanted so badly to submit a comment but I didn't want to waste brain cells on that vs my task at hand.
Incidentally, the headline was changed at some point to "The Sins of the Educated Class"
I felt Brooks wrote an excellent piece on the whole social justice outrage by the "privileged" class of the elite progressives. He heavily referenced a new book coming out called "We Never Have Been Woke" by Musa al-Gharbi. Even as a a person who drives a Prius replete with Bernie bumper stickers, I actually found a lot of sense in what he was saying. But the comments--wow! The piece garnered 1.8k comments--and I would say that for every 1 that liked the piece, 2 blasted Brooks.
If any of you guys subscribe to the NYT or can get around the paywall, I'd love to see what you think.
