Woke colleges are still wasting young American minds

Despite pushback by President Donald Trump, woke programming at US colleges continues to infect young minds, scarring generations — and one particularly sickening example is right here in New York, at Brooklyn College.

As The Post’s Ryan King reports, the school’s psychologist program requires students to take a tellingly titled course, “Multicultural Counseling and Consultation,” which features “collective racial healing activities” and “trauma-informed interventions” to fight injustice.

Course materials unearthed by Defending Education teach that whites are privileged and “weaponize” their whiteness.

The class requires students to identify “microaggressions” from options like the phrase “I am not a racist.”

A mandatory BuzzFeed “privilege” quiz has them cite factors that make them privileged, such as being white or heterosexual or not having been raped.

The class also focuses on “intersectional” identity gripes, such as “nativist, Eurocentric, individualist, heterosexual, patriarchal, cisgender, ableist, and sizeist” influences.

“It should be of major concern” that “future school psychologists are required to pass a class that promotes such deeply divisive and caustic ideologies,” warns Rhyen Staley, Defending Education’s research director.

“Additionally, no student . . . should have to endure discrimination based on immutable characteristics. . . This is blatant ideological indoctrination and needs to stop.”

Staley’s right: This kind of skewed, racist brainwashing feeds division and hostility not just on campuses but at corporations, government, the media and other key institutions.

It’s the kind of depraved curricula that fueled the pro-terrorist, antisemitic encampments after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel and surely underlies some of the anti-ICE riots today.

It might also explain the radical, uber-left support that paved the way for socialist antisemite Zohran Mamdani and the racists who surround him to rise to power.

Team Trump has made a good start in fighting the scourge — with DEI bans, civil-rights probes and by targeting the accrediting system.

Yet Brooklyn College is hardly alone in clinging to its perverse agenda: K-12 schools as well as numerous colleges around the country continue to offer similarly race-based courses.

Such as the University of Maryland’s “Decolonizing Medicine: Steps to Actionable Change,” per The College Fix.

And the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities’ “Critical Indigenous Theory,” which offers “content such as critical theories, decolonization, Marxism, Queer theory, and Palestine.”

Meanwhile, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s 2026 free-speech rankings showed some small progress recently among colleges in providing campus environments open to diverse viewpoints.

But of 257 schools surveyed, more than half (166) scored an “F” grade, while only 11 got better than a “D.”

Clearly, Team Trump has more work to do.

The left — in education and elsewhere — can’t be allowed to stand in the way of Americans reaching their own conclusions based on accurate, unbiased facts.

Anyone who cares about the nation’s future should rush to purge wokeness everywhere it has reared its ugly head.
