- Title
The End of Anti-Woke Politics.
- Authors
HIGHTOWER, JIM
- Abstract
The article discusses the rise of anti-woke politics and the efforts by right-wing politicians to suppress discussions about racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination in America. It criticizes figures like Ron DeSantis for using their power to attack teachers, librarians, and public agencies that promote inclusivity and diversity. The author argues that these politicians are eliminating important lessons in tolerance and community, and that the majority of Americans are rejecting their anti-woke rhetoric. A recent poll found that 70 percent of Americans believe that the country needs to do more to increase social justice.
