"AIPAC, the hard-line pro-Israel lobbying organization that once commanded bipartisan fealty, has increasingly become a boogeyman in Democratic circles, with scores of candidates distancing themselves from the group":

An Aeon essay through one of my favourite subjects: subversive literature, and whether it is actually subversive, by Charlie Ericson.
https://aeon.co/essays/feel-the-burn-how-subversion-works-in-literature
He discusses #Dante and #Milton, and a contemporary poet, Shane McCrae, and makes a distinction between subversion and #revolution.
It go me thinking about how literature's role in renewing #perception might transcend both of these.

A quotation from Henry Commager
What happens when a state tries to purge its state universities or a community tries to purge its public schools of alleged subversives? […] What happens is the demoralization and eventual corruption of the school system.
This is not a momentary or even temporary affair; it is something the consequences of which may be felt for years. The search for subversives results in the intimidation of the independent, the original, the imaginative, and the experimental-minded. It discourages independence of thought in teachers and students alike. It discourages the reading of books that may excite the suspicion of some investigator or some Legionnaire. It discourages the discussion of controversial matters in the classroom, for such discussion may be reported, or misreported, and cause trouble. It creates a situation where first-rate minds will not go into teaching or into administration and where students therefore get poor teaching.
In the long run it will create a generation incapable of appreciating the difference between independence of thought and subservience. In the long run it will create a generation not only deprived of liberty but incapable of enjoying liberty.Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

Per #Perplexity:
The #SermonOnTheMount is not typically described as "#woke af" in its original theological context, but it has been perceived by some modern audiences as radical or #subversive regarding morality and social #justice.
The sermon, delivered by #Jesus, contains teachings on #humility, #mercy, #peacemaking, love of enemies, and #authentic righteousness—#values that some might associate loosely with modern "woke" social consciousness.
