UFC commentator and host of one of the biggest podcasts in the world, Joe Rogan, recently spoke about some of the woke indoctrination his children saw while doing their schooling in the state of California.
Recently, on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the former ‘Fear Factor’ host remarked that the schools in Texas, where he currently resides, are wonderful, in contrast to the “problematic” schools in California. According to Joe, the California school where he sent his kids hired some officials who encouraged the students that they have to be anti-racist, and it’s not good enough not to be racist.
Rogan expressed that his kids are not racist at all in the first place, and what is the point of even putting these things in the minds of the children at this tender age? The UFC color commentator also added that this was all done to inculcate ‘activism’ in kids. This, according to Joe Rogan, was wrong, as kids just want to play and have friends, and rarely do they care what their buddies look like.
Very common experience. Schools need to change. https://t.co/Sz2wzFfhF1

“You’re indoctrinating them into this woke, guilt-ridden ideology that you are carrying around with you, and you feel like you have an obligation to impose this on children.” said Joe Rogan. He concluded his argument by saying that he does not like it when the ‘woke’ culture is forced upon someone, especially children who are very impressionable. “I didn’t like the woke sh*t. I didn’t like that they were asking kids their pronouns,” added the star comedian.
Billionaire Elon Musk also seconds Rogan on this one as he replies, “Very common experience. Schools need to change.” The Tesla boss is known to have strong opinions about popular culture and does not shy away from sharing them with the world.
Joe Rogan feels the woke culture will silence straight white men
Joe Rogan’s podcast is loved all around the globe because of the diversity in the selection of guests and the free-flowing conversations. However, some of those conversations have attracted a lot of criticism and debate, as ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ is listened by millions of people.
Back in 2021, the well-known comedian drew ridicule and criticism after he claimed on his show that straight white men were being silenced because of “woke” culture. In an episode of his podcast, the host spoke to standup comedian Joe List about the evolving boundaries of what makes for acceptable comedy. This has been one of the most popular topics to talk about for comedians.
However, Rogan’s opinions did not sit with many when he said, “It keeps going further and further and further down the line, and if you get to the point where you capitulate, where you agree to all these demands, it’ll eventually get to the point where straight white men are not allowed to talk.”
Nevertheless, controversies are nothing new for Joe, as he has been regularly involved in many, but he has still managed to maintain a loyal fanbase over the years.
