(first off, clearly too many of you read the bee to use their parody in the future. good to know. need to find a parody pool where people do not know the priors/have not read the headline)
many guesses they were all real. they were not.
1. joke
2. woke
3. woke (yes, "weapons of math destruction" was real)
I'll take a stab at this: 1) joke 2) woke 3) joke 4) woke 5) joke 6) woke 7) joke -- the math one I was torn about because I read an article about how math is racist and another about reducing advanced math classes, but this seems a bit over-the-top calling it "evil." ... Not going to tackle LOTR! :)
i know of a couple of big military industry complex 'contractors' [corporate welfare queens like the big pharma aspire to] whose federal holiday schedule 'banks' 4 or 5 holidays for Christmas break.... I suppose they will pair junteenth with Christmas as an 'on the date' holiday unlike veterans day.... got to be woke to keep the checks coming for shoddy performance.
J, W, W, W, J, W, W (A couple of those I caught the news story, so that's kind of cheating). I'm not even going to attempt Tolkein. Through previous employment I've read too many "woke" approaches to literature. There really is no way to tell.

I'm calling it: you are doing the trick where they are all real. All woke for the win!
2, 4, and 7 def woke. The others are highly likely. LOTR list is just priceless.
As much as it pains me, I'm guessing every one of these is an actual woke statement and not parody.
Same here.
F,T,T,T,F.T.F Where are the answers? I'll pass on Tolkien. I burnt out at the 2nd movie.
i'll post them later

You should make these a live poll
1-Joke, 2-Woke, 3-Woke, 4-Woke, 5-Joke?, 6-Woke, 7-Woke
Don't know about LOR.
I wonder if anyone in the Tolkien Society knows that he was a devout Roman Catholic.
My guess is the whole of the Tolkien bunch is woke-tastically factual.
F,T,T,T,F,F,F
T,F,T,F,T,T
1, 3, 5 -parody, 2, 4, 6, 7- woke
LOTR: 1-4 woke, 5-6 parody
1-Parody
2-4 woke
5-P
6-w
7- ??P
Tolkien- I am jaded enough to say they are all woke.
well 5 out of 7 ain't bad... :-)
