“Let’s say.. they just decide … ‘Oh, we’re gonna get rid of…history,” Kilmeade posed. “We got new history. This is America built off the backs of slaves on stolen land, and that curriculum comes in.”

“We don’t send them money,” Trump responded. “We would save half of our budget.”

So.. Wait. I heard about the controversy with CRT, but what's this? Are they really saying native Americans were treated fairly and slavery wasn't a big part of the southern economy??

There isn't Just One Source article. It's been nearly 4 years worth of articles. Across many different publications. Look up anything where conservatives mention woke. They use it as a code word. In context to mean either addressing issues of racial oppression and disparity. Or gender discrimination. Sometimes both in the same usage.
