The Observatory of University Ethics, created in 2019 under the name "Observatory of Decolonialism" then "Identity Ideologies", is an independent initiative dedicated to defending the fundamental values of the university and promoting higher education that respects the principles of ethics, secularism and academic freedom. We are committed to preserving a university where the search for truth, free intellectual debate and the transmission of knowledge are exercised in a rigorous and impartial framework.
To achieve these goals, we:
These three axes – individual support, analytical research and public awareness – structure our action and allow us to defend a university at the service of knowledge and society. See our authors
Consult our notes, our detailed reports on the question of the penetration of identity ideologies at university… Check
We produce analyses, articles or editorials almost daily based on data seen from our main observatory, the university itself and the establishments linked to it.
On this site you will also find a "rhetorical kit" to find answers to requests - in business or in the community - when faced with which you feel helpless and alone.

In a few years, we have produced and continue to produce more than 2000 articles with a view to documenting the penetration of identity ideologies and wokeness within the university – in France, and in the world – on all subjects and covering all areas of this disaster. We submit each year an objective report on the issue and we publish documented analyses. You can't say you didn't know...

All the "proof" of the deceased's non-binarity rests on these two absurd assertions. Since they are contradicted as soon as they are stated, the authors are safe from any criticism. The game will consist of forgetting these reservations as soon as we have finished writing them, and reasoning thereafter as if they were certain.
LM's book is easy to read. It does not claim to close the debate, and is clearly intended for a non-specialist audience. While the author lets the irritation that may have led him to react to the LA Tract show here and there, he does not give in to the ease of polemics and manages to retain the reader's interest through the coherence of the critical responses he provides.
These are some examples of blind spots on the part of intelligent and well-intentioned individuals. Ultimately, it takes very little to overcome these blind spots: one must find the courage to assert moral clarity and to resolutely oppose all ideas or ideologies that exalt lies and post-truth. This requires real consistency in the defense of the truth, in the face of attacks from all political horizons, whether it is the invention of a mythified past or the fantasy of a utopian future.
The analyses of what is now commonly called "wokism" could be divided into three groups: those that link it to "French Theory", those that derive it from the history of communism and those that detect a para-religious current in it. Salutary and, ultimately, complementary, these approaches focus solely on the ideological angle, which could lead one to believe that the fight against these invasive movements could be limited to this terrain. This is far from negligible but, in addition to opening the door to a return to the old ideological mummies called "right-wing", it ignores the conditions of the emergence of wokism, that is to say, the in-depth analyses of contemporary Western societies.
Dedicated to the latter, the work of Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997) would perhaps, retrospectively, allow us to shed some light on these contemporary pseudo-subversions, then understood as signs of a "decay of the West" - to use his famous phrase - which is now extremely advanced. It is this that we must confront, otherwise we will wage a battle while ignoring the main lines of force that determine its outcome.
Sociology has little credibility because it has evolved into a discipline which disdains value-free research and sacrifices research integrity for identity politics and social change activism. Sociologists speak of commitment to standards of scientific rigor, but their practice is mainly ideology and sloppy empirical studies.
A specter haunts contemporary societies: that of wokism. In universities, administrations, public and professional spaces, an insidious ideology seeks to redefine cultural, social and political norms. It claims to be inclusive, equal and socially just, but in reality is part of a logic of division, censorship and ideological oppression. We, opponents of wokism, rise up to defend universal values, freedom of expression and democratic pluralism against this intellectual and political drift.
Academic freedom requires that we be free to choose our research topics, but like any freedom, it must be framed. The first limitation lies in our conscience, as we have known since Rabelais. As a doctor and researcher, I cannot choose a research topic that would undermine the integrity of people. But…
Despite these few reservations, the fact remains that Transmania is a powerful and useful book. Buy it, read it… and, if possible, have it signed (wearing a helmet is recommended).
France Télévisions, total screen…or totalitarian? Orwell had imagined it, Ernotte made it happen!
Who is really right-wing: those who defend the working classes handicapped by exclusionary writing, or those who attack a writer presumed to be right-wing while promoting writing that excludes the poor?

Western universities are beginning to seriously worry. The development of wokeism and its derivatives, with their share of delusions, censorship and hatred, had already raised the alarm. But after the events in the Middle East, a milestone has been reached.
In recent weeks, we have faced the dismay of many men and women, Jewish citizens who, faced with the savagery of the attack of October 7 by Hamas terrorists, felt a glaring lack of solidarity towards them. The most affected were the people of the left, generally pacifists, who expressed themselves critically towards the current Israeli government. This dismay is that of those who suddenly realize that they remain part of an insurmountable otherness: within their civic and political community, their suffering encounters not a common emotion in the face of horror, but the coldness of a political conflict in which, whatever they say or do, whatever they suffer, they will be less victims than others.
The Cultural Revolution! It seems that the younger people have forgotten it… Did they ever know it, or even hear about it? It raged in China for a whole decade, from 1966 to 1976, and here it is in California…

Summary of Nathalie Heinich's book, Is Wokeism Totalitarianism?
We will look in vain for a proponent of woke thought who has taken up the cause of ruined farmers, after our dear wokeists ignored the yellow vest movement in 2018-19, or that of small wage earners and manual workers against pension reform in 2023. The social question does not interest them, neither in the Christian form of charity and guilt, nor in the socialist form of social justice and defense of the poor, nor a fortiori in the form of a patriotic populism that disgusts them...
October 7 revealed the failure of a Western left, divided by its support for Hamas and disconnected from its historical values such as anti-racism, secularism and the fight for equality. This fracture is symptomatic of the wokeism and Islamo-leftism that are eating away at the political debate.
Quotas, against discrimination against redheads!!
Despite progress in society, persistent prejudices against redheads continue to fuel exclusion and inequality.
Only clear quotas can ensure fair representation and appropriate visibility of redheads.
By setting quantitative targets, we can break down barriers and promote a truly inclusive society where every individual, regardless of hair colour, is treated with dignity and respect.
Colonization, debt to be honored, let France compensate Brittany!
Brittany, victim of French colonization, demands reparations!
Atrocities, suppression of autonomy, repression of language and culture, the scars are deep. France must assume its debt to Brittany and compensate for this dark period of history.
Committing to this approach means FINALLY promoting social justice and the recognition of historical rights that have been scandalously flouted.

Let's ensure that this acronym constitutes, from kindergarten onwards, the basis for learning truly inclusive writing.

For increased empathy, share your urine every morning
The Covid pandemic has shown the full value of naturopathy and holistic treatments.
In particular, it has been observed that belief in urine absorption* contributes to the fight against the virus.
More recent evidence indicates that the belief, within a couple or a trouple, in a shared morning ritual of giving each other one's urine* considerably strengthens the empathic connection between partners and promotes a better distribution of the mental load.
Of course, the mainstream media, in the pay of Big Pharma, hides this information from us. Hence the need to actively support our alternative media.
