North Korean Defector Yeonmi Park Shares Her Experience of Wokeness at Columbia University

I first learned of Yeonmi Park from Steve Bannon’s War Room. Her horrific story of growing up in North Korea and her harrowing escape to the West was hard to fathom, so I read her book, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom, and it’s still hard to fathom. If anyone of us is tempted to complain about anything, I suggest reading her book. It shows us how trivial most issues we complain about, get frustrated and worry about, grow anxious about, really are.

She has a new book out called While Time Remains: A North Korean Defector’s Search for Freedom in America, and she tells Bannon on this War Room interview of experiencing wokeness at Columbia University, supposedly one of the most prestigious universities in America, one of the vaunted Ivy League Schools. As much as her story of escaping a North Korea hell hole needs to be read to be believed, the story of her experience at Columbia needs to be heard to be believed. Cultural Marxism in the guise of wokeness has completely captured American universities and the irrationality is something to behold. Her comparison of the woke leftist indoctrination centers of American universities to North Korea is spot on. We can thank God they don’t have the totalitarian power of the Kim’s of North Korea, yet.
