DeSantis hopes to use 'woke indoctrination' survey in campaign ads

DeSantis rails against politicizing Florida schools with 'woke indoctrination' in a survey that allows his campaign to use respondents'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis decried "woke indoctrination" as he announced a survey for school board members and candidates to share their takes on controversial education policies — and let him turn their grievances into ads for his political campaigns.

It's the latest attempt by the Republican governor to inject politics into the state's non-partisan school boards.

The DeSantis Education Agenda — laid out in a survey on DeSantis' campaign website — says it aims to stop the "woke agenda from infiltrating public schools."

The blueprint features 10 short phrases that his campaign says could be a "model for other states." The agenda includes policy positions like increasing teacher pay and supporting mental health initiatives.

“ woke indoctrination” ?

I’m confused now all of a sudden everything that Desatan doesn’t like that refutes his christofascist ideology is now “woke”.
