    The great irony is they’re finally using the term correctly. To be “woke” means to be aware of, alert to, and concerned about social injustice and discrimination.

    That is exactly what they don’t want in schools or shoved down their throats: basic human decency.

      PC was used correctly too. Doesn’t word “woke” mean two diff iterent things to users supporting that and opposing? To these opposing it’s more clearly represented as “wokeism”, almost a religion that demands you obey it’s rules or be treated like a religious one heathen (as religions often do). To supporters it’s like you said - closer to “being aware of and concerned about social issues”.
