<p>Finally, someone asked the question. </p>
<p>During a Tuesday interview on<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/ryan-grim-and-emily-jashinsky-exit-the-hills-popular-web-show-rising"> <em>The Hill’s</em> online program <em>Rising</em></a>, conservative author Bethany Mandel was stumped when co-host Briahna Joy Gray pressed her to give a definition of the word<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/bill-maher-shares-definition-of-woke-during-jake-tapper-cnn-interview"> “woke,”</a> which has been used <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-flips-out-over-woke-xbox-because-everything-is-stupid">incessantly</a> by <a href="https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1635745320444342279">the right</a> to<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-is-now-mad-about-woke-one-legged-legos"> criticize</a> all things vaguely liberal.</p>

The book’s premise largely <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/how-a-perfect-storm-of-covid-lockdowns-and-woke-schools-stole-a-generations-youth/">centers on the belief</a> that the far-left has indoctrinated today’s youth with racial ideology, a “victimhood” culture, and “gender madness.”</p>
