The Beaver has long lamented the tragedy of watching his alma mater get ravaged by the Woke Mind Virus. How did a handful of radical professors from MIT’s School of Humanities, Arts, and Socialist Scientism (SHASS) successfully conspire with a compromised president, political hacks masquerading as deans, and race grifting administrators to pervert the culture of the finest STEM university in the world?

Why didn’t prominent Science and Engineering faculty stop this nihilistic lunge toward destruction long before the situation became dire?

Did cowardice keep them silent? Selfishness? Cluelessness? Or did they simply lack leadership around which they could develop strength in numbers?

Leadership comes in many forms. Sometimes it manifests as the marriage of a powerful vision with the charisma necessary to communicate it. Sometimes it requires raw courage combined with indomitable will.

But sometimes good men can stop the spread of evil if enough of them just stand up and refuse to comply.

This brings to mind the leadership lessons of the dancing guy, a quirky YouTube video that explains in three minutes how a lone nut and a first follower can create a movement. In this case the “movement” was a few moments of meaningless fun. But the lesson about human nature is profound.

The Beaver is proud to introduce the founding cohort of the Babbling Beaver Board of Advisors. Unafraid to stand athwart Wokeness and yell “Stop!” these valiant individuals set an example that can start a movement. A movement to save STEM. Isn’t it high time you stood up too?
