Alabama vs. Wokeness

     Many states have taken measures against wokeness in one variety or another, and now Alabama has joined in with SB 129 being signed by the Governor. It, in part, prohibits the state from pushing “divisive concepts” and programs to push the same:

(2) DIVISIVE CONCEPTS. Any of the following concepts:

a. That any race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin is inherently superior or inferior.

b. That individuals should be discriminated against or adversely treated because of their race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.

c. That the moral character of an individual is determined by his or her race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.

d. That, by virtue of an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin, the individual is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or subconsciously.

e. That individuals, by virtue of race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin, are inherently responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.

f. That fault, blame, or bias should be assigned to members of a race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.

g. That any individual should accept, acknowledge, affirm, or assent to a sense of guilt, complicity, or a need to apologize on the basis of his or her race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.

h. That meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist.
