I still don't understand the term so I'll keep it among those I don't use.

I spend my days in the world of public education. Teaching kids, working directly with educators, having conversations with and attending meetings with administrative teams and working with districts to ensure an equal education for all students regardless of disability, race, creed or economic situation. My experience is that this whole Wokeness thing has affected my life, or more importantly student lives, as much as Critical Race Theory has. Which is not at all.

Like in Loudoun county. Then you'll get to know woke and CRT as required cirricula. And no, you won't be invited to disagree in any way.

I live in the middle of what is supposed to be the hottest hotbed of avant-lefty activism, and while there is indeed plenty of sentimental, muddle-headed bourgeois moral angst driving the campus bureacracy (and the ed school), critical race theory remained a niche intellectual game until the right-wing propaganda machine, in its endless search for fear-fodder, discovered it via the 1619 Project. As with most academic movements, there's a core of decent analysis surrounded by an accretion disk of enthusiasts, careerists, opportunists, and general True Believers. I've seen this sort of thing before, but usually in areas that are not coupled to public policy (the role of patristic theological thinking in medieval poetry never made the front page or even the arts section of the Sunday magazine).
