Ron DeSantis: Taking a Stand Against Woke Culture<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is not afraid to make his stance against &#8220;woke&#8221; culture known. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ive-never-seen-the-morale-any-lower-than-it-is-right-now-says-border-patrol-union-president\/\" title=\"\u2018I\u2019ve never seen the morale any lower than it is right now,\u2019 says Border Patrol union president\">recent radio interview<\/a>, he boldly declared, &#8220;I&#8217;m the only guy running who&#8217;s been very clear about that issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis has faced criticism from both the Left and the Right for his focus on what some call &#8220;culture wars.&#8221; However, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-solution-to-ongoing-border-crisis-fighting-climate-change\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris\u2019 Solution To Ongoing Border Crisis? Fighting Climate Change\">firmly believes<\/a> that this ideology has far-reaching effects on various aspects of society. &#8220;This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-says-woke-ideology-affects-everything-and-hes-the-only-guy-fighting-it\/\" title=\"DeSantis claims 'woke ideology' impacts all aspects, and he's the sole fighter against it.\">woke ideology impacts<\/a> the economy, the military, criminal law, everything,&#8221; he emphasized during his conversation with South Carolina state Sen. Josh Kimbrell on The Morning Answer.<\/p>\n<h3>Fighting for Freedom<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Our freedom is under assault as woke infects more institutions,&#8221; DeSantis warned. &#8220;I&#8217;ve defeated the woke in Florida. As president, together we will defeat the woke all across this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the battles he proudly recounts is his confrontation with the Walt Disney Company, which some of his Republican primary opponents criticized as not aligning with conservative principles.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Every Republican presidential candidate, including Donald Trump, has attacked me for standing up against Disney regarding the sexualization of children,&#8221; the governor revealed. &#8220;In Florida, we said, &#8216;It&#8217;s not appropriate to be doing this in school.&#8217; They opposed us \u2014 they were trying to jam this curriculum into our school. And traditionally, in Florida, if Disney weighed in, they would get their way. But I was willing to stand up. We said no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis firmly believes that the Republicans opposing his fight with the company are prioritizing a woke corporation over the well-being of parents and children. &#8220;If we can&#8217;t draw a line in the sand and say, you know what, the kids are off limits, do not bring your agenda to our kids. When they go to school, they have a right to have a traditional, normal education without having a teacher telling a first grader that they may have been born in the wrong body. It&#8217;s totally unacceptable,&#8221; he passionately expressed.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, former President Donald Trump criticized DeSantis&#8217;s battle with Disney, suggesting that the governor was being &#8220;destroyed&#8221; by the company. DeSantis, however, fired back, accusing Trump of taking Disney&#8217;s side in the matter.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis vs. Trump: A Clash of Perspectives<\/h3>\n<p>While DeSantis and Trump may have their differences, one point of contention arose when Trump began questioning the term &#8220;woke&#8221; last month.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like the term \u2018woke\u2019 because I hear, \u2018Woke, woke, woke.\u2019 It\u2019s just a term they use, half the people can\u2019t even define it. They don\u2019t know what it is,&#8221; Trump stated during a campaign event.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite their disagreements, Trump still enjoys a comfortable lead among likely Republican primary voters, with 57% support, according to Morning Consult. In a hypothetical matchup against President Joe Biden, Trump also maintains a 3% advantage. DeSantis currently holds second place, with 19% support.<\/p>\n<p>To stay updated on this ongoing battle against woke culture, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
