IS WOKE REALLY DEAD IN FLORIDA?

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 5, 2023

    FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS LIKES TO SAY THAT FLORIDA “IS WHERE WOKE GOES TO DIE.” NOT EXACTLY.

    AS THE EPOCH TIMES NEWSPAPER REPORTS, SUCH TALK IS GREATLY EXAGGERATED. SIX STUDENTS WHO ATTEND A MAJOR UNIVERSITY IN THE STATE TOLD THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT THEIR FRUSTRATION WITH THE ANTI-WHITE, ANTI-CHRISTIAN AND ANTI-AMERICAN ENVIRONMENT ON CAMPUS AND IN CLASSROOMS. THEY SAY CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS ALSO PART OF THE CONTINUING WOKE AGENDA AT THE SCHOOL.

    SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ARE HEARD FROM PARENTS AND STUDENTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. WHILE SOME PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE WHEN VOTERS KICKED OUT WOKE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WHO OVERSEE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES REMAIN A PROBLEM.

    THE SIMPLE ANSWER, OF COURSE, IS FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO FIND OUT WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT IN THESE PLACES AND IF THEY DON’T LIKE IT TO CHOOSE ANOTHER SCHOOL. IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT TENURED UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS, WHO HAVE EARNED DEGREES FROM SCHOOLS WHERE THIS STUFF IS IMPOSED ON THEM WILL TEACH SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THEIR STUDENTS.

    THERE ARE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES THAT TEACH SUBJECTS CRITICAL TO A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION THAT WILL PREPARE STUDENTS FOR A GOOD CAREER. FIND THEM AND GO THERE. IT’S THAT SIMPLE. I’M CAL THOMAS
