    Yeah, I'm sure the SCOTUS will see these bills differently. Woke ideology is racism...

    I'm sure the Dems will turn up the heat on packing the Supreme Court, too.

    Anything he doesn’t like or anything Desantis or Trump says he shouldn’t like. Incapable of actual critical thought.

    Ever since this bill came up, I've asked conservatives here if anyone could defend it. If anyone really thinks the state should have control over what businesses say to their employees during training. I don't think I've ever gotten an answer, just the usual "Woke is bad, DeSantis is good" stuff.
    Can any of you guys assuring us the law will eventually be approved by the courts explain why you think it should be? Why the state should have that authority over businesses?

    Perhaps I should have said I'm not sure what the right thinks it means because I hear a different definition every time

    As someone who knew that the phrase “stay woke” existed prior to 2021, I can say that it doesn’t mean what the Republicans have turned it into. They completely changed the meaning, which is unfortunate, because we had been using it quietly for decades and now the term is ruined forever.

    Democratic Party policies have ruined it forever.

    So be it, something has to cover the democratic party social policies. Woke works fine.

    No, that's what our failure of a governor thinks it means. (Don't shake too hard.)

    Really?

    #1 ranked economy

    #1 ranked education

    Flipped the state bright red in voter registrations

    Ended federal programs attacking our children through education

    Ended discrimination based on DEI, free speech allowed

    Highest % rate of population growth in the nation

    Low crime, blue state shit not tolerated here.

    You are a strange bird indeed.
