A place for ex-pats from the Denver Post comment section (closing down in July), as well as people that want to discuss Denver Post articles in general.
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".
Another way to put this is Trump is going to make sure nobody who cares about the well-being of people gets to teach children.
So goodbye schools, I guess.
He's putting together a new agency that will cut budgets of agencies for efficiency and here he plans to use federal money for something trivial.
Is this what’ll be known as “the woke scare” by historians?
Most likely.
