The story cited Yale University, where school officials urged students to reconsider Halloween costumes that might be racially insensitive.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Macron, who has been criticized by French progressives, told Elle Magazine this past summer that woke culture was \u201cracializing\u201d French society, Zenger reported.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI see that our society is becoming progressively racialized,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Elisabeth Moreno, France\u2019s delegate minister for gender equality and diversity, has also voiced concern over America\u2019s spreading \u201cwoke\u201d ideology. In May, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-05-18\/macron-minister-slams-wokeness-wants-to-keep-it-out-of-france\">told<\/a> Bloomberg News that \u201c\u2018woke\u2019 culture is something very dangerous, and we shouldn\u2019t bring it to France.\u201d In that same interview, Moreno blasted cancel culture, which she said had been used to \u201ckick out people from ongoing debates because they think otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are speaking up and that\u2019s good,\u201d Moreno added. \u201cEveryone should fight discrimination. You can\u2019t ask someone not to speak about a topic because the person doesn\u2019t&nbsp;feel&nbsp;legitimate. It makes no sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A panel at \u201cTocqueville Conversations,\u201d a conference named after the late 19<sup>th<\/sup>-century philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville, also decried the move to limit free speech in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mantra is that we should talk even if we strongly disagree. Nothing prevents you from talking and exchanging and dialoguing,\u201d Jean-Guillaume de Tocqueville, a descendent of the late philosopher, said of the panel. \u201cThe French Revolution was an event that led to a bloody civil war because the people who were not in agreement with the new ideas, the really revolutionary ideas, were just killed and beheaded. It was not a good way to debate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Macron\u2019s most recent comments about \u201cwokeness\u201d come as American-French relations are in decline under President Joe Biden. Last week, Macron <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-european-leader-urges-continent-needs-to-shift-course-as-u-s-relations-deteriorate-under-biden\">suggested<\/a> Europe distance itself from America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Europeans must stop being naive. When we are under pressure from powers, which at times harden [their stance], we need to react and show that we have the power and capacity to defend ourselves. Not escalating things, but protecting ourselves,\u201d Macron said during a press conference with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. \u201cThis isn\u2019t an alternative to the United States alliance. It\u2019s not a substitution, but to take responsibility of the European pillar within NATO and draw the conclusions that we are asked to take care of our own protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a bit over 10 years now, the United States has been very focused on itself and has strategic interests that are being reoriented towards China and the Pacific,\u201d Macron added. \u201cIt\u2019s in their right to do so, \u2026 [but] we would be naive, or rather we would make a terrible mistake, to not want to draw the consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-european-leader-urges-continent-needs-to-shift-course-as-u-s-relations-deteriorate-under-biden\">reported<\/a>, relations between France and America have been frosty since the Afghanistan withdrawal.
