In a CNN interview, Gov. Ron DeSantis said, “Not everyone really knows what wokeness is. I mean, I’ve defined it, but a lotta people who rail against wokeness can’t even define it.” Here’s what we learned about the term 'woke' and its use in politics.
Ryan Newman, DeSantis’ general counsel said,"Generally, the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them." And in his newly released book,"The Courage to Be Free," DeSantis himself added a third definition:"What constitutes ‘woke’ is open to debate, but for the left, a fundamental attribute of wokeness is the subordination of facts and evidence to anecdote and ideology.
John Feehery, a Republican strategist who served as press secretary for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, told PolitiFact that"woke" started on the left and the GOP rebukes it reasonably. The poll, backed by the tech industry-oriented, left-leaning Chamber of Progress, ran in November 2022 and didn’t mention"woke" specifically.Fifteen percent of voters said it’s among their top three goals to"make sure schools don’t teach a ‘woke’ political agenda" in a national Hart Researchcommissioned by the left-leaning American Federation of Teachers.
