Anyone that uses "woke" as a pejorative really just wants to say the n-word instead, but don't think they can get away with it yet.
That's not true at all. Sometimes they mean "gay," "empowering women," or "left of Joe Manchin." Give credit where is due, these people suck way more than you make it sound.
(Woke is) the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.
-Lawyer Ryan Newman, representing Florida man Governor Ron Dipshit.
That sounds like a pretty woke definition. Burn him?
Turns out, you can lie all you want in the court of public opinion, but you can't lie at all in the court of law.
“We disagree with the Court’s opinion that employers can require employees to be taught — as a condition of employment — that one race is morally superior to another race. The First Amendment protects no such thing, and the State of Florida should have every right to protect Floridians from racially hostile workplaces. We are reviewing all options on appeal going forward.”
I have an extremely low opinion of intelligence of the "anti-woke" warriors but, like, do people really think that's what's happening? They're honestly thinking DEI stuff is teaching that one race is "morally superior" to another? That's just a wild fucking line to throw in there.
They’re honestly thinking DEI stuff is teaching that one race is “morally superior” to another?
It's because they've been told they were special, and it hurts their personal self-esteem to learn that they're equal. Bunch of snowflakes.
I think their thinking (and calling it that is a stretch) is that by educating on the past and present injustices and therefore showing the fallibility of the white christian class, it somehow elevates other populations above them. There's a term for that, but I can't remember it. "fucking delusional"? Nah, that's... No, that fits...
Needs to be laws that cause repercussions for fucks who sign draft and pass laws found to be this ridiculously plainly and obviously unconstitutional.
This is exactly why his campaign crashed and burned. Glad to see him continue this clownery even after that.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ron DeSantis signed in 2022 as part of his war on “woke ideology.” It was intended to prevent teachings or mandatory workplace activities that suggest a person is privileged or oppressed based on their race, color, sex or national origin.
“Yesterday, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held that companies have a right to indoctrinate their employees with racist and discriminatory ideologies,” the statement said.
The challenge to DeSantis’ “Stop WOKE Act” was brought by two Florida-based employers who wanted to require diversity and inclusion training for staff and a consultant.
The appeals court agreed, saying, “Even if we presumed that the Act served the interest of combating discrimination in some way, its breadth and scope would doom it.
Opponents of the “Stop WOKE Act” are fighting it on three fronts: the law’s effects on K-12 schools, higher education and employers.
Last year, a federal appeals court ruled that a temporary block on part of the law restricting what can be taught in Florida’s public colleges and universities will remain.
