A red herring is eye catching and Georgia like North Carolina has a variety of nuts, but that doesn't change the well-established fact that "woke" is a radical left neo-Marxist dogma.
Concerning the article, I agree that voting should be contingent on passing a civics/history test. Unfortunately, our population has reached a level of ignorance making that necessary if we are to continue as a healthy constitutional republic. Also, I believe we should be way more wary of the next greatest curriculum fads. Publishing companies push these curriculum fads as ongoing profit makers. Many times, they are used as ideological tools too. We should not forget tried and true teaching methods. In order to see how much we have digressed educationally in this country, take a look at a 19th century eighth grade exam. I'll bet most present-day college graduates would have to study in order to do well on it.

That bit about globes being woke obviously comes from one of your "progressive" sources who either does not know what "woke" is, or is trying to deflect. Conservatives understand that "woke" is a radical left neo-Marsist dogma.
Of course, it would not surprise me to see the woke movement move on from attacking historical statues to attacking things like globes. They are already anti-science on things like gender, and use fake science on things like climate. How Germany started in 1933 was a concentration of political power and rule by decree (executive order) instead of using the legislative process. We see the Biden regime doing the very same things. The Biden regime also seems to be itching to follow Stalin with political show trials against his enemies. Once they did those things to stifle political opponents, they moved on to stiffle ordinary citiens with things like rigid gun conrol to deprive law abiding citizens of their guns. HMMMM! Biden wants to do that, too.

BTW, have you heard. Globes are woke and should be banned from schools. Apparently the round world is to divisive for our students. I am not making this up.

If you don't, think Germany 1933. This is how it starts.

Elected officials who are little more than front men and rubber stamps for the bureaucracy are NOT doing a good job, and that is how much of our school board functions. Of course, a woke person like you thinks a group that allows woke policies is "good" but most of us do not.

Generally speaking the school board does a good job. If you support them, participate.

Covid allowed parents to finally see what was going on in the schools and many were shocked. That is not what they want for their children. Too many in the education establishment have not figured that out. That is leading to defeat of incumbent school board members and sometimes firing of senior bureaucrats. They ought to wake up, but for too many it is still business as usual.
