WOKE Just Died in Florida. Killed By Stop WOKE Act

WOKE just LOST in the state of Florida. Gov, DeSantis just signed into law the Stop WOKE Act, which bans the use of CRT in schools and workplaces. Schools and employers who continue to push what they call DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) "training", will be treading on dangerous ground.

The penalties set forth by the new law for pushing this racist, anti-American, anti-police, etc, trash are severe.
A person who believes his or her rights were violated may file a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations within 365 days of the alleged violation and then, in most cases, pursue a civil or administrative action. Remedies available under the law include injunctive relief, back pay, compensatory damages and punitive damages (not to exceed $100,000).

The Florida attorney general is also empowered to bring civil actions for damages, injunctive relief, and fines not to exceed $10,000 per violation when the attorney general has cause to belief an employer engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination, or otherwise engaged in discrimination that violates the law and raises issues of “great public interest.”

Woke is dead in Florida. Quite possibly, if not likely, this legislation will spread to other conservative states (although some already have it too).

Woke was dead in 2015. It's you right wingers that keep repeating the term and have now weaponized it.
This will not end well for you.
 
Woke needs to be understood as a fascistic movement, and the only real way to combat it is by shining the light of day on it. It needs to be called out for what it is.

The big problem in doing that is the media, since the media is the driving force OF this fascism.
It's just the generic term the right now uses for everything they don't like about black and brown people having access to the political process.
 
In other words, you approve of these ideas being taught to kids ?

  • Members of one race, color, sex, or national origin are morally superior to another.
  • An individual is inherently racist by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin.
  • An individual’s moral character or status as privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by his or her race, color, sex, or national origin.
  • Members of one race, color, sex, or national origin cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race, color, sex, or national origin.
  • An individual bears responsibility for, should be discriminated against, or should receive adverse treatment because of actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, sex, or national origin.
  • An individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment on account of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, to achieve DEI.
  • An individual bears personal responsibility for and must feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress because of actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, sex, or national origin in which the individual played no part.
  • Virtues such as merit, excellence, hard work, fairness, neutrality, objectivity, and racial colorblindness are racist or sexist or were created to oppress members of another race, color, sex, or national origin.
CRT teaches none of these.

Do you have something against teaching an accurate version of history? You know, the one that wasn't taught by the victors....
 
It's working out just fine. My only complaint with Desantis is his inattentiveness with Florida's extreme housing crisis, with rents skyrocketing to 300% increases, but that's another topic.
Free market.
People from Northern Blue States and South of the Border escaping Leftists.
 
I was born and raised in Alabama. It's a shithole in nearly every way.
The real shithole in the US now is California with the worst schools, the most poverty, the most homelessness, the highest rents, the most taxation, the most debt, the most Illegals and the most Democrat leadership.

No wonder a thousand middle class people are leaving that shithole every day. Meanwhile Alabama is growing in population.

IMO it's a little optimistic to think we've slain the Woke beast.

Two things about that particular beast:

1. It's real hard to kill. It's like PennyWise the clown, it keeps coming back

2. It likes to play dead. And it knows how.
 
Do you live here? Probably not or you would understand why even a lot of republicans are displeased with DeSantis right now.
The Pan Handle sends it's regards lefty

LOL, what do you want him to do? Enact “rent control”?

People are fleeing Dem run shit holes and going to FL because they like what they see there.
 
Let's be real. Housing costs are not going up to the extents that hundreds of apartment complexes need to raise their rents 300%. This price gouging is far worse than the gas pumps, and it is applicable to our most fundamental necessity - shelter.
Price gouging? Do you remember what happened to these property owners when the Kung Flu was first released, by Fauxci/China? Many "squatters" were allowed to stay in their domiciles without paying, and the government failed to reimburse them for those lost payments. Blame the Joe Biteme admin for not only stealing the election but causing pain and misery which progressives always do.
