We hear the terms cancel culture and wokeness thrown around these days, but do you know what they mean? A common defense tactic of someone embroiled in a public and embarrassing controversy is to proclaim loudly, through their platforms, they have been canceled, and of course, the people canceling them have to be woke.
That is what Dr. Nicholas Niciosa and his wife, Mary, claimed after they received public criticism after it became known that they hosted a party with racist themes at their mansion. A lawsuit was filed by an employee whose supervisor took him and other employees to this party during work hours.
In this episode, we bring back one of the best people on the planet Prof.Lee Pierce. She joins host Mary Whiteside to discuss cancel culture, free speech, and wokeness.
