How Florida's "War on Woke" Could Provide a Glimpse Into America's Future | Foreign Correspondent
The US state of Florida has become the epicentre of a nation-wide culture war and a model for the country’s right wing conservative movement. Led by Governor Ron DeSantis, the only serious Republican rival to Donald Trumps’s presidential bid, the state has become the place where “woke goes to die”.
This week on Foreign Correspondent the ABC’s Washington bureau chief Jade Macmillan travels to the sunshine state to see how this war is playing out.
The battlegrounds are schools and universities where new laws on the teaching of issues like race and gender are bitterly dividing communities. While other US States are watching closely, and some even following suit, all eyes are now on Ron DeSantis who is expected to announce a run for the Republican presidential nomination.
The question is will the Governor’s “anti-woke” blueprint take him all the way to the White House?

20 years ago when I first went to the US I called it exciting and fun. 20 years later I call it violent and angry. Interesting to see how the US will deal with all this rage in the future. I fear we are watching its downfall and what a darn shame. I met so many good people that ended up raving political bobble heads. Politics is the new hollywood in America.

I'm Australian but went to college in America and you have summed it up perfectly. Just as Australia had a recent report that said how the top 10% had done brilliantly over the past 25+ years while the rest of us struggle the Americans had a similar report last September EXCEPT its EVEN WORSE. The American report was done by the Congressional Budget Office, which means its beyond question. If you want I explain the data but in nutshell the Top 10% of America have not only recovered from the GFC, but are now over $30 Trillion better off than they were in 2007. The Middle 40% are finally better off but it took a while and they aren't that far ahead of their 2007 position. The Bottom 50% who lost almost 1/2 their wealth in the GFC, not only haven't recovered but are still a long way behind their 2007 position. That's 165 Million Americans are still behind where they were 15 years ago and another 132 million are barely above water while about 33 million who got bailed out after the GFC they created are booming.

Well woke was a term that was done around the 70s and then popularized by soul and RnB singers on how people are not aware of how things are in society and government when it come so black people and later for minorities. Basically to be aware of tools of oppression and control even after slavery. Also to be more aware of what happened in history (not just slavery but native Americans and immigrants) that was changed or non-included in school . It really had nothing to do with LGBT but now woke us used synonymously with equal rights for everyone. It’s now a political propaganda term, twisting its meaning into something unrecognizable of the original meaning.

I think if most parents in any State read their State Education Standards they would soon realize this is a distraction and deflection to just divide and create drama. I taught for almost 30 years. The Standards drove my instruction; not sexual orientation or CRT. Please read your State Standards and provide citations if you believe your children are being indoctrinated. The Governor is just dividing people instead of focusing on economic issues: housing and rental costs and the growing insurance nightmare in his State.

The abortion thing was relatively quiet for a long time until they wanted to kill children at 8 months plus. If the left could have left well enough alone and not wanted abortions right up to the time of birth then we wouldn't be where we are at right now. I, like most people, had accepted 12 weeks for someone to make a decision and have an abortion if absolutely necessary. I think many people can accept 16 weeks but 8 months is ridiculous. Please feel free to watch what a third term abortion looks like and tell me that's not a baby or one of the most hideous things you've ever seen in your life.

Don't thread on our Kids, thats all
14:10 Absolutely shameful. I don't have kids but I was one, once. This is the contents of this generation's textbooks? Horrifying.

This stuff has to be super new. There's no way this insanity was teached in school before 2018. Though I live in Pennsylvania and I graduated in 2018.

there is no sexualisation of kids going on. they are praying on people just like yourself that are not informed, but good intentioned and think that it's right for kids not to be sexualised, so this sounds like good law making - except that's not what is going on at all. They are selling it to you as that, but what they are actually doing is taking away any education that doesn't align with ULTRA conservative christian church values. Not just regular values, but those that demonize anyone that is not the norm. You're being emotionally manipulated. Don't fall for it.

Maybe if the parents weren't so strict and homophobic or transphobic the kids would feel safe in confiding to them!

Imagine that, someone who is open and willing to really listen to kids is felt as more empathetic. What a concept!

Yeah it's a little bit sad that these kids trust her and feel safer telling her their feelings and secrets than they do their own parents.

Imagine wanting your kid (usually girls) not to learn about their own body!
It's amazing that no one in Florida or the GOP, can even define what the word woke means.
