[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 75939606, member: 123415"] That particular aspect, alone, nothing's wrong with that. However, when they use the expression "woke philosophies" per the headline in the article, that leads me to believe it's encompassing a lot more than just that. While I'm one who's been a staunch opponent of actual "woke-ness", I'll still be the first to acknowledge that when some people use that expression as a pejorative, they're using it in a context that expands far beyond what I would consider actual "woke-ness". For instance, there are some who would lump "Explaining that racism has had a multi-generational impact that's still effecting people to this day" and... "We should let this 7 year old decide if they want to go on hormone therapy" ...under the same "woke-ness" umbrella. And then there are some who imply that pretty much any sociological value left-of-center is an example of "woke-ness". I was 100% opposed to the "BLM in school" curriculums that some districts were injecting...and staunchly opposed to the "trans immersion" programs that they were piloting in NYC districts. What I want to be cautious of, is making sure that vague legislation isn't getting passed that basically makes it against the rules to call out legitimate societal/systemic impacts. IE: If a sociology teacher wants to convey the sentiment that "thinking a gay person is evil just for being gay, is wrong, and is negatively impacting people"... that shouldn't be categorized in the same bucket as "we have to allow 3rd grade kids to make gender-altering decisions, and if you object, you're just a bigot" [/QUOTE]
