In the wake of the racial reckoning created by the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, several states have enacted multiple anti-equity educational measures. Florida is central in this discussion as it leads the US policymaking with 23 bills introduced and passed into law. Further, Florida's particular constellation of educational reforms has already begun to transform the state's K-20 educational landscape and shifted the national narrative toward a broader regressive ideology of anti-woke. This brief paper is part of a more extensive critical policy analysis (CPA) (Diem et al. 2014) on anti-woke ideology and educational policy in the US. As such, this critical policy case study focuses on discourses of intersectional justice and systemic inequality in Florida's anti-woke educational policy.
