By Hialy Gutierrez

…est-known is the “Stop Woke Act” in Florida. These bills, which came out in 2021 in direct response to the Black Lives Matter protests, copy-paste large parts of Trump’s Executive Order 13950 which banned trainings around racial stereotyping in the federal government. So, right-wing activists and think tanks took that executive order and turned it into model bills and pushed it in dozens of states, affecting both K-12 and higher education. We demo…

…tics among those who had once been politically dominant but now find themselves in decline. Citizens organizing themselves into an identity-based faction in this way has historically been a warning sign that large scale political violence may be in the offing. People can compromise if the issue at stake is economic or territorial in nature. Land can be divided; money can be reallocated. But how does one compromise on the core issue of identity? Al…
