[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article by “Ryan” is a window into the ideology of CleanSlate:

“I’ve been studying the “woke” (critical social justice) movement since the Evergreen State riots in 2017. I have always identified as a classic liberal, and I still do. I am self-employed, and one could easily argue that I work in the progress business; I earn more when my clients do well, less and sometimes none when they don’t. My entire adult life, “live, and let live,” would have described my politics. Until 2020. 
 
Living in Montgomery County it became very clear that there were some who were allowed to “live,” and some who weren’t, AND, if you were one of us that weren’t preoccupied with wiping down our fruit with Clorox wipes before removing our N95’s, it was VERY clear who was allowed to “live,” and who wasn’t. “Live the way we tell you to, you don’t need to know why,” was NOT something, growing up in a deep red military baptist household, I was fond of. I was confused, I felt abandoned by my fellow liberals, and I dug deeper into researching why I was confused. Why weren’t words seeming to mean what the book in my house with dictionary on the front says they mean? 
 
Now here we are.
 
This is the first part of a social justice dictionary to help you understand what those who govern us, and those who teach our children mean when they use these words. These are NOT buzzwords. Sitting behind each word like, “equity,” or, “antiracist,” is a theory to better the behavior of humans in the eyes of humanity PhD’s loaded with academic language, and a plan to inject it into society. The words themselves sound good to most good-hearted people.  However, when you see the theories in practice one can begin to see how the words have been misaligned and redefined. The Webster’s dictionary definition is how the ideas win support.  You are sold the promise of restoration, and you receive the very opposite. 
 
Woke: Is an adjective to describe a person who is aware of, and has a pathological like (resembling mental illness) sensitivity to systemic oppression that philosophers in social science claim to exist in regards to race, gender, ethnicity, disability, age, etc…”

Sounds like a Republican to me.[/quote]

if they toss around the term woke you can bet it's regressive propaganda[/quote]
