"Woke? You mean practicing basic empathy? Valuing people who are part of your community?" - Kayla Kisseadoo was among the bright, motivated New College students Alex Wagner was able to speak with in Florida recently.

Watch the first part of Alex's reporting from Florida that aired tonight here:

Part 2 of Alex Wagner reporting from New College in Florida here:

This is the definition of woke in case you are interested

Impressive young person. Clear thinker.

"I can't tell you what crt or woke means." Then proceeds to whitewash and define woke and crt completely incorrectly. Big brain time.

This is great stuff. Everyone, everywhere needs to do this – as soon as someone throws the word 'woke' at you, stop right there and ask them what they think it means. Only then can you proceed with the conversation (if you feel inclined to).

Kayla has my vote for whatever office she decides to run for in the future. She represents the exact opposite of DeSantis. That is the way I was raised.

As a lifelong Florida resident and the parent of someone who is looking at colleges, we will have to consider out-of-state. What happened to Republicans wanting LESS government?! #desantisisatyrant

@DrDinD Critical Race Theory, WOKE, are complicated words that can only be understood by using many other words or a mini thesis.😂 Bottom line, Gen-Z doesn't seem to care much about these words, maybe we shouldn't either. DeSantis made both these words prominent. I like WOKE. 👍
