A profound reversal of values and benchmarks is currently affecting the intellectual, educational, and social spheres. Identity ideologies are distorting historical struggles for equality, emptying them of their meaning. It is urgent to reestablish critical thinking, armed with knowledge and rigor, to stand up against this charade that is blurring the transmission of reality.
The book "Facing Woke Obscurantism," commissioned by the Presses Universitaires de France from three researchers and 22 co-authors, was suddenly canceled a month before its publication, officially due to a context deemed unfavorable. This decision, perceived as a form of ideological censorship, sparked numerous reactions, media support for the authors, and interest from other publishers willing to publish the book.
Stand up for Science: A generous mobilization in favor of threatened American researchers… that we had not seen at work in favor of those who were ostracized in the past for crimes of opinion. Ideological prejudices and political correctness harm science! Beware of militant actions that undermine scientific rigor…
At a time when the French-language writer Boualem Sansal was dying in the jails of Algiers, the star political journalist of RTL declared on air on February 25, 2025 that France "made hundreds of Oradour-sur-Glane" in Algeria, and "that the Nazis behaved as we did in Algeria."
Jacques Robert warns against the excesses of wokeism and Trumpism, two extremes threatening science, and calls for vigilance against all forms of ideologization of knowledge.
We are the advocates of the dead, not because we hear their voices, but because we refuse to subject knowledge to seductive illusions. Science cannot be a field of "exceptional" experiments; it is, above all, a space of intellectual demand.
In the world before, literature was the way to know the lives of others, to imagine one's own, and to test one's virtues, one's body, one's fantasies, one's hopes and one's ambitions. The teachers of morality and virtue were neither civil servants nor paid activists, but thinkers and artists grappling with the human question. This library is still available. Mr. Minister Delegate, hold on!
There is no stopping progress in the invention of new woke causes, intended to wake up the troops who are a little too asleep again. Because it's true, by force of stuffing ourselves with "gender" (about half of the themes listed in the 250 or so items of our 2023 Report), "racialization", "Islamophobia", "homophobia", "transphobia", "fatphobia" and all the phobias imaginable (except that of mice and reptiles, the only ones that I unfortunately have to confess), we end up finding the soap opera a little repetitive... Thus the dreary flock of "sheep of thought" periodically struggles to renew the livestock of the unfortunate victims of Domination (curse your name too pronounced!). And the latest discovery to date is children. Dare you?
This requires, since the Nation's budget is under discussion, to create a specific envelope for the fight against adultism, intended to promote paid internships led by the children themselves, in order to better ensure that the specific oppression they suffer is understood. These will aim to awaken parents and, beyond that, all adults, to the toxic relationship that pushed them to have children without asking their opinion.
Today, it is a twenty-year-old Sciences Po student, Pablo Ladam, who tells us about the madness that has taken hold of his school in its fight against "sexist and sexual violence". He does so in a high-quality text, Terreur violette, which is absolutely essential reading and which we all hope to see published soon.
