Welcome to Solid Ground

Increasingly, employees and students find themselves pressured to endorse a particular worldview, take measures  or endure coerced medical treatment under the threat of job dismissal, failing grades, or social ostracization. Many people feel bullied into proclaiming and denouncing their white privilege (or oppression, depending on skin color), announcing their pronouns, and/or participating in trainings intended to coerce them into viewing the world through the lens of Critical Social Justice (CSJ). 

Others have been fired from their job, demoted or canceled for voicing dissent, refusing a vaccine, or even for merely not appearing sufficiently enthusiastic about woke ideology or the dominant Covid narrative. Since intolerance of viewpoint diversity is part and parcel to the CSJ / authoritarian world view, many people with concerns about the tenets of CSJ and/or the Covid narrative are reluctant to speak out. For some of us, this presents a moral dilemma. Should we feign agreement with ideas we find objectionable to maintain our employment and get along with peers or stand up for our principles and risk potential job loss and social censure? 

This near impossible situation often results in a crisis of conscience. The impact of the pressure to demonstrate adherence to a CSJ and/or Covid narrative/worldview on physical and mental well being is significant. Many people report feeling intimidated and abused by their employer’s attempts to coerce them into accepting such a worldview. Many people also report self-isolating due to fear of “saying the wrong thing“ or being asked to voice ideas that violate their conscience. This results in anxiety, social isolation and loneliness, often resulting in an inability to perform at work or school to the extreme that necessitates taking a leave of absence or even leaving their job or school.
