I’d have phrased things differently, but it is in any case good to finally see some “fighting back” against “wokeism”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory
Critical race theory (CRT)[1] is a theoretical framework in the social sciences that examines society and culture as they relate to categorizations of race, law, and power.[2][3] Developed out of postmodern philosophy, it is based on critical theory, a social philosophy that argues that social problems are influenced and created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors. It began as a theoretical movement within American law schools in the mid- to late 1980s as a reworking of critical legal studies on race issues,[4][5] and is loosely unified by two common themes. Firstly, CRT proposes that white supremacy and racial power are maintained over time, and in particular, that the law may play a role in this process. Secondly, CRT work has investigated the possibility of transforming the relationship between law and racial power, as well as pursuing a project of achieving racial emancipation and anti-subordination more broadly.[6]
By 2002, over 20 American law schools, and at least 3 law schools in other countries, offered critical race theory courses or classes which covered the issue centrally.[7] In addition to law, critical race theory is taught and innovated in the fields of education, political science, women's studies, ethnic studies, communication, sociology, and American studies.[8] Important scholars to the theory include Derrick Bell, Patricia Williams, Richard Delgado, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, Camara Phyllis Jones, and Mari Matsuda.
Critics of CRT, including Richard Posner and Alex Kozinski, take issue with its foundations in postmodernism and reliance on moral relativism, social constructionism, and other tenets contrary to classical liberalism.

Education is extremely important.

In a nutshell, this is why I support Donald Trump. And I will absolutely accept all those other faults, yep, every one of them, if the choice is between him and the coalition that'll puppeteer Biden.
I see it a bit differently. I mostly support this policy of him. But I assume that, say, Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz would have also supported such a policy. It doesn't cancel out the myriad of other things I dislike about him and his other policies. The GOP needs to press the "reset" button, and the price for pressing that reset button is to endure four years of Biden and hope that Biden won't screw up things completely.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

You lose Trump and this stuff doesn't die, it doesn't reset, it blooms into law.
I agree that "wokeism" is a real and serious threat, but everything can be reversed. Also, the point where I begin to disagree with Trump's proposal on this matter is when it turns into the direction of "patriotic education", which sounds like out of the frying pan into the fire. I'm worried that he would try to replace one set of stupid identity politics with another set of stupid identity politics. There are already hints of that in the current executive order.

Ok. That sort of disagreement is to be expected where some people weigh certain value judgements different from others. But the judgments themselves are understood and respected. This is what political disagreement should look like. Unfortunately these days it too often looks like “omg you support Trump? You are a troglodyte!”

Also, there should be a difference between despising a politician and despising the people who vote for him.
