Woke and CRT are gold for the Republicans. It allows Republicans now to charge Democrats with supporting neo-racism. Wokism is the ideology of the hate "squad." The problem of course is racism is real. Simply look at the standardized test scores, American black students consistently score way below American white students. So woke and CRT and all this baloney is really just a way to avoid the real problem: How do we encourage American black families to embrace education the way educated American white families do? This woke CRT Neo-racism will hold American black children back for at least another generation. Taking algebra and calculus out of public schools will only hurt the children whose parents cannot afford to pay for private math schooling. Though I am pleased that CRT will help Republicans politically, I am deeply sad by what it will do to my American black students. MLK was a Republican for good cause, he was an intellectual conservative.

Sounds like Sanzi is ready to do battle, along with a fair amount of reclaiming the native soil where the grassroots have been planted. While we're on the subject of roots...

Just trying to provide some additional information in the same spirit of free inquiry as Persuasion. Make of it what you will.
