Can they actually define "wokeness" first instead of what appears to be "anything I don't like"?

Fun fact, 'woke' already has a definition on the legal record thanks to Ron DeSantis.

The important bit:

Asked what “woke” means more generally, [Desantis’ General Counsel Ryan] Newman said “it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

Thats pretty close to the definition of Critical Race Theory, but I've never heard anyone say that CRT is the only part of "woke".
