The attack on "wokeness" and LGBTQ serves a larger project for the far right: "Pathologizing opponents" by feeding fears that your children are under constant threat from an "enemy" that is "all around." Good

The vagueness is the point. It's meant to make educators feel on thin ice, perpetually fearful of violating antiwoke orthodoxy. This invites more complains from parents and encourages them to see plots to indoctrinate their children around every corner: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/
