Why We should Boycott Florida

We Take on Ron DeSantis and his myopic view of "Woke". Conservatives have said that the young people of this country have been indoctrinated by our education system. This is causing them to vote Democratic.
DeSantis rejects "Woke" ideology. Does he even know what "Woke" means and how it came about?
Woke- What does that mean? Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".
To be "woke" politically in the Black community means that someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality, Merriam-Webster Dictionary states.
Woke is defined by the DeSantis administration as "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them," according to DeSantis' general counsel, as reported by The Washington Post.
"We reject woke ideology," DeSantis said in his election night speech. "We will never ever surrender to the woke agenda. People have come here because of our policies."
DESANTIS CLAIM:
Books are being removed from Florida classrooms and libraries because they are “pornographic, violent or inappropriate.”
FACT:
Books that have been banned in Florida include:
- Biographies of Hank Aaron and Roberto Clemente that Duval Countyadmitted to removing from shelves for nearly a year, along with 177 other books from a collection of diverse books.
