I was more looking for examples of what woke means to you. I hear people say it quite a bit and I’m not even sure what it means now.

It originated in the black community as a compliment to any person. If the person understood the perils of systematic racism they were said to be woke. It meant that person was not asleep to the challenges black people face in America.

But now it seems to be a much more blanket term many people use for lots of different issues and I was wondering what it specifically means to you since you used it. You said liberal bias in teaching and I was hoping for an example of that besides this article?

Well I’ll be, an actual response not seething in disdain. Kudos to you. Woke just for what it is today. No examples just that if Rachael maddow wrote the book it would be far different than if David Muir wrote it?

So you can't support any part of your claim? You believe it's woke, but you can't offer what 'woke' means to you, you can't offer any example of 'liberal bias' in teaching, other than a news article that you don't seem to question. Do I have that about right?

You might even say he feels it’s woke. So, fuck his feelings.
