Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt about it, wokeness is destroying America. The proof is all around us. It has managed to seep into our schools, businesses, publications, and nearly every other nook and cranny of our great society. Even our military is prioritizing diversity and inclusion over strength and readiness. Schools are teaching critical race theory and revisionist history over truth and fact, brainwashing our kids with a leftist doctrine on what to think instead of how to think and formulate ideas for themselves. Agendas to defund and demonize police officers are hindering police departments' ability to hire new personnel and to protect their communities. Radical climate change policies are decimating our energy sector. The foolish push for electric vehicles is increasing our dependency on an enemy like Communist China. Liberal judges are refusing to prosecute violent criminals and enabling this tsunami of a crime wave that is washing over our Nation. The continued exploitation of programs like humanitarian parole is worsening the border crisis and allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter the country on the taxpayers' dime and making it more likely that we will be hit with another terrorist attack like 9/11, or even worse. The list goes on. The fact remains that the left's woke policies plague our Nation, and we must find a remedy before the damage done becomes permanent.…
