Can’t do this anymore. Not since teaching became “woke”.

From my limited insight (only seeing it on the internet since this only exists in English) it seems to be a loose term to refer to many, but not all progressive societal movements that contradict the world view of the last few decades.
Examples: LGBTQIA+ culture (pride month / parade, featuring them in movies/books (this one isn’t new but still apparently counts as woke), …), new laws to require a certain percentage of [whatever, for example a company’s employees] to be female / to be coloured, …
Somehow apparently not included (correct me if I’m wrong, again, I only know this term from the internet): Women getting less children but working more, the fight for equality for women.
So far I’ve usually seen it in negative context, not always but often hostile.

The Magic School Bus was from a time before woke pollution. I fondly remember every episode ending with the class yelling at the Latino student.

Because he was the class clown, not because he was brown.
