Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' War on the Woke Agenda | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is stepping up the state's "war on woke." With a plan to defund critical race theory and diversity and inclusion initiatives at the state's public universities, the governor also plans to up the power of the state's university presidents to hire and fire professors who do or don't comply. The Florida state legislature will review the proposal in March. Author at the Federalist, Evita Duffy, joins to share why these diversity initiatives and teachings are a danger to our schools. This seems like a bold move by Governor DeSantis. Duffy tells us more about what he is up against in the state of Florida. She explains whether she expects his plan to get traction in the state and whether other states will follow suit. On another note, tonight President Joe Biden will deliver his State of the Union address. The pundits anticipate he will touch on the war in Ukraine, the economy and crime. Duffy has been closely following a city that is really an epicenter of crime, Chicago. She discusses what is going on in the streets there. Duffy fills us in on what else she is following.
